NBC’s Dilanian: ‘The Russians Are Flooding the Internet with Deep Fake Videos Designed to Discredit Kamala Harris’

EXCERPT:

DILANIAN: “They’re saying this is part of a vast Russian disinformation campaign. Really, one small example. The Russians are flooding the internet with deep fake videos designed to discredit Kamala Harris because they want Donald Trump to win. And then you have Iran also trying to interfere. They want Donald — Donald Trump to lose. And what officials are even more concerned about, though, Katy, are attempts to try to prevent people from voting in swing states by putting out false information about time and manner of voting, say, your polling hours have been extended when actually they haven’t, or things like that, using deep fake videos to do that. So — and this is based on a declassified U.S. intelligence assessment that was issued in the last 24 hours and there — there’s a lot of private analysis of what’s going on as well. So the good news is we know that this is happening and we can try to inoculate people against it. The bad news is, it’s continuing to happen.”
