How can I protect myself from deepfakes?

Short answer

Slow down on shocking videos, verify the source before sharing, set up a family code word for urgent calls, and limit how much of your face and voice you post publicly.

What to know

  • Deepfakes are most dangerous when they create urgency: money, secrets or outrage.
  • Check the earliest upload and whether trusted sources report the same thing.
  • Agree on a code word with family so a cloned voice can't fool them.
  • Report deepfakes of yourself to the platform right away.
