I would add a 4th and 5th to @selectedwisdom recomendations:

5th: Firms should implement what I call "the Blade Runner Rule." You can't ban deep fakes for 1st amendment issue. But you can require a watermark, which would allow use in marketing entertainment, but take out their sting in weaponization.
Watermark would immediately reveal whether fake or not. It would also move companies out of difficult decisions on content and just have to police the worst out by them not having the watermark that shows is a fake.
