A deepfake is a fake video or audio that looks real because it uses technology to change someone’s face or voice. It can make it seem like a person said or did something they didn’t.Tip:

Be Skeptical of Media: Always question the authenticity of videos or audio you encounter online, especially if they seem surprising or controversial. Look for signs that a video might be manipulated, such as:

• Unusual Visuals: Check for odd facial movements or mismatched lip-syncing.
• Source Verification: Ensure the content comes from a reliable source. If it’s shared on social media, verify it through trusted news outlets.
• Cross-Check Information: If a video claims to show something significant, see if other credible sources report the same event.
