If a "deepfake" suggests someone did something they never did, couldn't that be considered "defamation" (with a couple of other tests)?

@olives@qoto.org Yes, it does meet the criteria sometimes. False portrayal shared with others, knowledge of falsity, and reputational harm. Proving the last would be the hardest hurdle for the original creator who shares, proving knowledge when others share would also be a barrier if they'd shared and were claiming they believed the deepfake was real.
