Twitter detailed some ideas on how to deal with deepfakes, such as warning users before they retweet or like tweets containing deepfakes.

Deepfakes are videos and images that have been altered using artificial intelligence. Some have used the technology to create funny videos, adding actors like Nicholas Cageinto movies they did not originally appear in. Bad actors, on the other hand, have used deepfakes to create nonconsensual pornographic videos by swapping a victim’s face with an adult entertainer.
Twitter’s definition, however, allows for the company to include altered videos that aren’t technically deepfakes, like the viral “drunk” Nancy Pelosivideo from earlier this year.
A report from last year detailing how the U.S. Defense Department was preparingfor deepfakes showed just how serious nefarious uses of the technology are being treated. The BuzzFeed-created Obama deepfakefrom last year also helped sound the alarm on how exactly this technology could be used for political disinformation.
Twitter previously announcedthat it was working on a policy dealing with deepfakes on the platform just last month.
