The fake screenshots and the fake videos are both troublesome. How do we know what’s true and what isn’t? How many false facts do you believe?

I can imagine a world where false tweets/videos/headlines are generated specifically for you to keep engagement levels high. The outcome would be not only do we not know the truth, but no one can agree on the truth. It’s something that currently exists in our society, but technology can make the split bigger.
