The following submission statement was provided by /u/rherbom2k:

The government wants to use deepfakes offensively despite claiming to develop tools to counter them. This can undermine trust in all content and erode democracy. As technology advances, people will continue to use it maliciously. The impact of deepfakes can be disastrous, causing society to lose trust in institutions and government. The future looks bleak as we must create ethical guidelines and educate the public to counter disinformation and promote transparency.
