I was recently on a webinar about Disinformation and what the media and governments are 'doing' about it. I found it both interesting and, in and of itself, misleading (in other words, it could have been classified as 'disinformation').
Parts of it were excellent, discussing the manner in which AI is now being deployed and increasing the ability to do "Deep Fakes" and other false narratives. Several examples showed how easy it is to make these. I believe there needs to be a way to identify and combat these, without question. And many companies are creating ways to deal with the threat these represent. I have no doubt it will be an 'arms race' of sorts, never ending. But the reality is there's nothing new here. Fakes have existed for years. Back when well-known entities weren't as recognizable or identifiable as they are now, many 'fakes' popped up to mislead, distract, and defraud the population. Lord Gordon Gordon and Princess Caraboo were capable of perpetuating large scale fraud. "End of the world" cults were incredibly common.

It is why "Squad" members AOC, Cori Bush, and Rashida Tlaib ranted, raved, whined, and cried after Republicans ousted Ilhan Omar from her seat on the House Intelligence Committee. "Islamophobia," they cried! "Racism!" Misogyny! An attack on women of color! Etc., etc. They did not mention that the other two congresspersons removed from the committee were Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff, both white males. Never mind that two thirds of those taken off the committee for security reasons were white (heterosexual) non-Islamic males. "Racism!" "Islamophobia!" "Sexism!"

I don't know how doctors can actually participate in these things. But, putting legalities aside, I don't know how doctors can do abortions either - much less "late-term" abortions.
