I don't think we're underestimating it at all, but we are simply already overwhelmed by fake text-based news like Twitter and websites/newspapers, as well as TV news shows spouting falsehoods. While fake video is surely going to be coming down the pipeline and will make things worse, the current issues are already terrible. Just looking at the 2016 US election, for instance, it was found that multiple fake stories were able to gain a tremendous amount of traction: whether that's the pope endorsing either candidate, health rumors about HRC, or the swirling controversies of Russia/emails/hacking. The solution has to be that individual citizens become educated, I don't see any silver bullet here. |
