Just read about use of deep fake videos illegally using the BBC brand to supposedly post on social media insidious and insulting comments. With an election present, the BBC needs to call out this misuse of their brand and either (1) send everyone a transcript of the actual interview, or (b) rebroadcast the actual interview on all news channels and on its own social media and web pages. It might also be a good idea for the Electoral Commission to write to everyone in the relevant constituencies to notify use of deep fake that might impact on their voting choices. I would rather have millions of pounds of tax payers money spent keeping elections 'clean' than a single voter making a decision based upon misinformation, otherwise we might as well not bother with elections and ask the election manipulators who they want to win and save the money spent on a gneeral election.

Whatever the party affected, we cannot allow our democracy to be undermined this way.
