But then, you know, interjected within that flow of arguments that I could have made, which I hadn't made, there were statements that I would never have made.
And that's where the dangerous part comes, especially for people who are politically exposed as I am.
I have lots of enemies that would love to, you know, pretend, present me as somebody that said something, let's say, anti-Semitic in order to take the wind out of my criticism of Israel.
Similarly with Russia, I have made enemies everywhere because I believe that Putin is a war criminal.
At the same time, I think NATO are war criminals too in the way they've been expanding and giving Putin the opportunity to do that which he's doing.
But if you're standing against both NATO and Putin, it's very easy for somebody to use deepfake in order to insert the sentence in what you're saying that completely destroys your credibility.

And it's very clear that, you know, this is not incompetence on the part of big tech.
It's their business model.
I mean, you know, my fake versions have a lot more views than I have.
So they make a lot of money out of that.
And Google is simply not interested.
