That is social media for you. Disinformation still existing on there despite multiple calls to remove it. Just don't straight up believe everything you see on the internet. The 'propaganda' happens on either side.
I've seen a deep fake with Putin "surrendering" on 28th of February: https://youtu.be/ZbudZw1LlHg I guess the video itself was made even earlier than that. The video is not excellent, but the audio is pretty spot on, if you ask me. Edit: re-worded the first sentence.
How is this worse than the last 30 years of Photoshopped war images?
Does Zelenskyy have a public-private key pair he can use to digitally sign videos which are to be uploaded to the internet?

Information dissemination must be similar to fluid dynamics. It just has to be. It’s simpler and more insidious than that.
