These systems should be removed. This is antithetical to freedom and privacy. There should be no way for anyone to track down who posted a political meme, anti-religious message, or any other legally protected speech. This will come back to bite us in the ass if we keep building it. Soon every image or communication we make will be watermarked if we continue to let this shit seep into the commons. Everything from you…
Any privacy-respecting way for these big labs to keep selling their generators while minimizing e.g. political deepfake harms? > Social media platforms can identify, ban, and report abusers. & do but Americans nonetheless argue with troll farms[1] every day & it hurts us [1] 2013-2023, just one known company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Research_Agency
When your average gullible person will fall for a jpeg and a quote, you don't even need deepfake content. You just need to say something and they'll take it at face value. Deep fakes aren't even necessary. AI literally does not even matter.
If there's such a thing as a "sophisticated actor", they'll be able to remove identifying marks. Not that they'll need to.
What you'll be left with is the 99% of society that has everything they do tracked, and eventually platforms that won't allow anything except for signed and attested communication to take place.
We're building our own mouse trap here. Why don't you see this?

Again, you don't even need the specter of AI. You just need to say words and certain people will trust it. There's nothing you can do about that. Yellow journalism and propaganda has been a thing for longer than any of us have been alive.
The "fix" you're proposing is a tool to put us all into permanent shackles. It is a tool that will strip away our rights and put us all into shackles. Perhaps within our lifetimes.
Stop building and advocating for this shit.
