The videos found as part of this deepfake scheme, which seems to operate by taking images of real doctors from popular accounts on TikTok and superimposing different digital faces over theirs, have racked up well over 10 million views.

fuck.

“Revised edition excludes the hateful forgery Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Had Mr. Cooper known it was a forgery, he would never have included it in his book”
Amazon book description sounds suspect.
I’ll look at this instead:
apparently it did - they removed it in later publishings… it sounds like that’s just papering over the problem though
