  • So this title claims that

    US intelligence spotted Chinese, Iranian deepfakes in 2020 aimed at influencing US voters

    After that we get nothing but in more words:

    It’s unclear what was depicted in the deepfakes

    The NSA declined to comment.

    And some bits that kinda contradict the danger implied in the title

    The Chinese and Iranian operatives never disseminated the deepfake audio or video publicly

    While they didn’t deploy their deepfakes in 2020, Iranian government operatives

    At the time, some US officials who reviewed the intelligence were unimpressed, believing it showed China and Iran lacked the capability to deploy deepfakes in a way that would seriously impact the 2020 presidential election

    Finally, we arrive to the funniest part:

    This story has been updated with additional information.

    So the info is that there is no info? And this was written by 3 people? Give us a break CNN



















  • Ok, I’ll try to explain then.

    There is no crypto without a blockchain, and blockchains live on the internet. Btw the projects that are worth in this environment are decentralized.

    Federal courts in the US are passing laws and these laws are valid only in the US. They don’t threaten the survival of the “crypto industry” cause they live on the internet, not in the US. It just makes it harder to create a legit project in the US, or if you are a user you will need a VPN to access some sites that are not available in the country you live in.

    This is why there is binance.com (for almost everywhere, except US) and binance.us (only for the US). This article fails to mention this difference so claiming that:

    The cryptocurrency industry is counting on the federal courts to survive

    makes it clear to me that the author has no understanding of how crypto works. That’s my good faith take on this article.
