Caught a deepfake of a local news anchor announcing a fake curfew, it spread on Nextdoor for hours.
I started checking the station's official site and socials, which had no mention of it, and that simple cross-reference killed the rumor. How do you guys verify a video before you share it now?

A local news anchor? That's a new level of scary for a deepfake.

New level of scary" is right, my cousin got fooled by a fake voicemail last week.
