In the past 4 days, 3 #deepfake videos appeared about Vice President Biden.

A "deep fake" is a video edited to change content or context, or replacing a person with another person's likeness.

Can you spot the deepfake in this article?

On Aug. 30th, Rep. Steve Scalise tweeted a doctored video of activist Ady Barkan's interview with Biden.

Words were added, and some were excluded, changing the context & meaning.

Twitter flagged the video as manipulated, and eventually removed it.

A video shared on Aug. 31st by White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Dan Scavino replaced Harry Belafonte's face with Biden's to make it look like Biden fell asleep during an interview. #disinformation

A 2nd video shared on Aug. 31st by the Trump campaign excluded some of Biden's words to change what he said and make it look like he was agreeing with Trump and Pence.

Beware of deepfakes. More will be coming.
