The threat is not deepfake creation—it's the frictionless platforms that amplify them at scale. As generative tools become commodified and harder to regulate, the meaningful leverage point shifts to networks: which platforms tolerate synthetic abuse imagery, which remove it, and whose algorithmic incentives accidentally accelerate harmful spread. Regulation and prevention become a distribution architecture problem that looks more like content moderation than a technical arms race around watermarking and detection.
