New social media techonologies.

 One of the most new and exciting technologies that has become available to the masses is the tool of deepfakes. This technology allows any user to replace a video or an image of someone, and paste another face on top, and be able to display the extremely detailed movement of the facial muscles to make it seem that a the person being programmed on, is the one being used as a puppet. This technology can be a bit freaky at times because of how accurate and how realistic it can make other people appear. When the tool first came out, it had it flaws and people could tell that this was something very uncanny. But as time has progressed the details are now much sharper and can seem even more life like than photo realism. This tool is very powerful and it has been mostly used for memes, and by other online fools, but whose to say this tool can be used for malicious intent. Someone can potentially capture a video of you and replace it with things you never did or said. That is where this tool become dangerous. If we are currently witnessing something as powerful as this, whose to say we will be able to distinguish real people from fake people in the future, since to our minds these movements and actions are indistinguishable.
