Screw you You Tube for allowing deep fakes on your web site!! [View all]

To my fellow DUers,

I’m watching this YouTube video featuring George Will, the reporter for the Washington Post, commenting that President Trump will now have to show all of his financial records to Congress or face fines. The fines will double every week. The judges have voted 7 to 2 to fine Trump, with Alito and Thomas being the ones who, although they voted against fining the president, do not approve of this decision. George Will has been vocal against MAGA, but he’s not a Democrat. I used DuckDuckGo to search if Trump was being fined by the Supreme Court. It turns out the whole video is a deep fake. I wonder if George will sue YouTube for defamation of character. So, with the First Amendment, we don’t have the right to yell "fire" in a crowded room; is that right?

I ruined four hours of my eight-hour sleep being really angry about this. If you’re a premium member, you can complain about the content of the video. You can complain that it’s hateful, abusive, harassing, or bullying, but you can’t complain that it’s a fabrication or a deep fake.

Don’t trust anything political from YouTube ever. They don’t care. For that matter, only trust the BBC, The Guardian, Democracy Now, and Mother Jones.
