My understanding of the deepfakes timeline:

1) One day somebody posts a handful of really obviously faked janky looking porn videos. We all have a good laugh, briefly imagine the possibilities, and then move on

2) Like 3 weeks later, every social media platform explicitly bans this dumb toy that wasn't even any good

3) a year or so passes

4) Now governments are passing dramatic legal bans on these things, and there's all kinds of shady things happening. Like, this is the first instance of this kind of public restriction I have _ever_ seen on github.

So: which major news events were completed fabricated?
