    The Queen's message DEEP FAKE by Channel 4



    UK television station Channel 4 has come under fire for a digitally altered video of Queen Elizabeth II giving her annual Christmas message, but the station says the segment is "a stark warning" about deepfake technology and the "proliferation of misinformation" in the digital age.

    Key points:

    The deepfake ends her address Queen warning viewers to question what they see and hear
    Channel 4 says the segment shows firsthand how deepfake technology can enable "fake news"
    But the segment was met with backlash even before it aired

    In a statement announcing the four-minute segment's airing on the afternoon of Christmas Day in the UK, Channel 4 said the fake Queen appears "startlingly familiar at first" as she addresses what she and her husband Prince Philip have been doing in lockdown.

    But the fake address takes a bizarre turn when she performs a TikTok dance routine.

    I love the final comment, although every Canadian I have met in person has been very nice.

    I wonder if you can prosecute someone under UK law for making Her Majesty appear more interesting than she actually is....
