There’s nothing you can do about it though without banning it/making it so that only people with special licenses for academic/business use can generate that stuff. If someone makes their software to where it embeds a watermark/some kind of metadata that helps you verify that what you’re watching is fake, someone else will just release their own software/model that doesn’t do that.
Yeah, I don’t have a good solution. You could just make it illegal to make deepfakes of real people, but that is pretty restrictive (not to mention impossible to enforce).

This is either an all or nothing kind of deal.

Malicious deepfakes would probably fall under defamation.
Remember the days when it was considered common sense to never share your real life information online?
Those days are going to come back because of this.
