    I'm not a birther but something about this seems disturbing. Who decides what is or isn't 'fake news? Will it eventually not be possible to express non-liberal views throughout much of the media:

    And what does "birtherism" mean at all? Is saying Trump asked the President of Ukraine to dig up dirt, a phrase he never uttered, "birtherism"? That's he's Putin's puppet, that he colluded with Russians, that he's a racist, a misogynist? All of those will be censored?

    A deepfake is not fake news, it is “synthetic media[2] in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else's likeness. While the act of faking content is a not new, deepfakes leverage powerful techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence to manipulate or generate visual and audio content with a high potential to deceive.[3]

    American Democrats/neo-commies see the power and control the Chinese Democrats/neo-commies have over the Internet in China and are hella jealous. American Democrats/neo-commies plan to use "election interference/Facebook ads/memes Democrats don't like" as an excuse to impose Chinese Democrat/neo-communist style censorship on Americans. They will have speech police holding people accountable for things they post or share. If Democrats/neo-communist don't like what you post they will charge you with a crime.
