Taylor Swift deepfakes on X falsely depict her engaging in election denialism — and have been viewed millions of times::Taylor Swift is being targeted again by deepfakes, with supporters of Donald Trump posting manipulated media falsely showing her supporting Trump.
For what it’s worth, I doubt these videos were “viewed” millions of times. X tracks a 1-second automatic playback as a view, such as when someone slowly scrolls past on their feed. Every other service typically counts that as an impression.
It’s all just bots looking at bots.
