« Why are hawks in US unnerved by Ayatollah Khamenei’s letter to US students | Democrats Introduce Legislation To ‘Terminate Secret Service Protection’ For ‘Convicted Felons’ » |
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is attempting to prevent the release of the audio of the infamous “memory interview” between US President Joe Biden and special counsel Robert Hur, arguing that "deepfakes" may appear as a result. [...] While the DOJ admits that there is plenty of “other raw material to create a deepfake of President Biden’s voice” available to unscrupulous actors, it argues that if the public became aware that the legitimate recording was released, they would be more apt to believe a fake recording is legitimate. It is not known how the court will respond to the strange reasoning. If a legitimate copy of the recording were released, it stands to reason it would become easier –not more difficult– to disprove fake versions.
