We should also look towards simpler alternatives. ( For example some days back I also read about a profile made on a social media platform with a "generated" face )

1) For image platforms to prevent "generated" profile with fake faces, may be request 2 profile pictures and not one. A task that is difficult to achieve at high resolution.

2) For deep fake videos .. May be the idea be to fight the "video" part and not the "deep fake" part. By that I mean "signed" content. ABC news should "sign" generated videos and so should other publishing houses. So that any other source claiming forged voice or certain kind of "faked" content are not able to do so.

The problem will increasingly be "whose algorithm do we believe". Internet has revealed that people believe mostly what they want to. We have seen that a large subset of people are believing Bill Gates is behind the pandemic. Why would masses somehow be more rational in picking the most rigorous and objective neural network to recognize deepfakes, than they are in making sense of the world in general? In the end we w…

Because YouTube, Facebook will flag these videos before they become too widespread.

You're missing a sarcasm mark.

But seriously: at best it's going to be a big "maybe, it depends". These services bounce between PR disasters of "complicit purveyors of propaganda" and "oppressive algorithms destroying free speech", so you can't rely on them to be on either side.

As deepfakes get better, the algorithms will have worse detection rate, so it'll end with Zuck testifying to congress that Facebook doesn't want to decide what is real, so everyone can post deepfakes all day long.

Aren't digital signatures the best solution we have for this problem?

Commercial entities want to have the priviledge of being able to modify the content submitted by content creators, but the culture of trusting i.e. Twitter over client verification needs to change.
