Abstract
We analyzed whether current technical counter measures for deepfakes are less e ective
in social media environments than in traditional journalism environments. To that end,
we compared earlier forgery methods to the possibilities and limitations of various kinds
of deepfakes. Our exploration of several deepfake counter measures has enabled the
analysis of their e ectiveness within the two media environments. Our recommendation
is to pay increased attention to the social media environment. We view detection as a
decent temporary patch and solutions that combine authentication and provenance as
a promising candidate for reliable long-term solutions. Integrating the latter one into
mobile phone operating systems could be compelling future work.
