I'm not convinced this will be as big of a problem for national security as suggested. Pornographic images can't be broadcast and can't be shared on Facebook. Twitter can already label deep fakes iirc.

The focus on women politicians is a but off too to my mind, a deep fake of a male politician performing some kind of taboo or salacious that could also be damaging.

The issue isn't political deepfakes. Its making porn of women without their consent. That is plainly bad, and happening a lot.

The issue the article dismisses because it hasn't happened yet is (non-pornographic) deep fakes in the political arena. Stuff like making Biden say homophobic or anti-semitic things.

Well, this article is at least in part about the effect if deep fakes on women in politics.

I think the ubiquity of fakes and ease of how they can be made will provide a shield for politicians doing indecent things. They can claim recordings are fake.
