Really? Do you have any evidence to support this claim?
I know someone who works in a major social network company. They got an email on their personal gmail, asking to help acquire vanity usernames for a reward.

I work really closely on deep fake tech [1] and I'd say I'm relatively current with the state of the art in the literature. This was not deepfaked. The person recorded it themselves and is lying. The video quality is too good. The lighting and movements lack mistakes. It can't be first order model, wav2lip, or any of the relatively new audio to video models. The audio doesn't suffer from spectral noise, and it matche…
I agree. I think the most telling sign is the hand gesture for the number 3 when he says "just invested 300 bucks". Don't think Deepfake models can understand intent yet.

It needs a base video to be modified. They need a video of a person talking to do the deepfake.
Instagram is a dumpster fire. I have a 3 letter instagram name and the amount of spam and attacks I get is insane... I get hundreds of password reset emails from instagram daily and constant DMs and follow requests from scammer and bot accounts. I've tried contacting instagram about it several times but they never respond. Had to blackhole emails from security@mail.instagram.com to prevent my mail server filling up.
I don't share my daily email with websites but for whatever reason I used it with this Instagram account. It's the only spam I get at this point. 20 email resets per day!! It can't be hard to fix that
I've had my account hacked, too. I used to own: https://www.instagram.com/kaler/ Have owned it since Instagram launched and it was connected to my Facebook account which I've had since 2005 or so. There is no hope with contacting Instagram/Facebook support.
Seems like it is time for a class action lawsuit

1 - This is an actual video of the guy in his home, but they changed/synthesized the audio and then worked on the lip movements to make it match.
2 - This is a video of an actor impersonating the guy, possibly to the extent of impersonating his voice (although his timbre might make that a little tricky), and then they just deepfake the face on to the actor. An example of this is deeptomcruise on TikTok, something that you should treat yourself to if you haven't seen yet - https://www.tiktok.com/@deeptomcruise (first two today aren't great, here's a good one - https://www.tiktok.com/@deeptomcruise/video/7018171271095553... ? )
I'm not even convinced there's any alteration here, but even if there was both of the above could be possible. Adobe demoed something called VoCo in 2016 that never saw the light of day, not sure if there is something approximating this available today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3l4XLZ59iw&t=260s

Fortunately, that's not something the current company Meta would allow to happen. That sounds like something that only Facebook would let fall through the cracks.
I can't tell if you are joking but I desperately hope you are.

The moment you create something that can be used to upload any type of content, some people will exploit it.

Doesn't this apply to the whole internet? Internet connects both good and bad people. The moment you create something that can be used to upload any type of content, some people will exploit it.
Tech companies seem to invest far less into customer service, make it impossible to get on the phone with someone, resolve issues in a sane way, etc.
