The Council on Foreign Relations wants to restrict your ability to post images, audio, and video online

Check out this article from the Council on Foreign Relations. The article purports to be about the problem of “deep fakes” or faked video, pictures, or audio. Supposedly they are concerned about someone using this to unduly influence an election, but in reality this is all a pretense leading up to the main part of the article, which is their desired “solutions”:
Ideally, this technology-driven problem could be addressed adequately through technological solutions. But though strong detection algorithms are emerging (including GAN-based methods), they are lagging behind the innovation found in the creation of deep fakes. Even if an effective detection method emerges, it will struggle to have broad impact unless the major content distribution platforms, including traditional and social media, adopt it as a screening or filtering mechanism.

 Translation: we need to prepare an algorithm for Youtube and the other CIA front social media companies to remove any content that threatens our cartel.
