That sounds like a dangerous proposition. Either they fabricate allegations about a “nobody” and put them in trouble or they fabricate allegations about those in power and will be investigated and put themselves in danger. Neither strategy is good.


It worked pretty fine with #MeToo. Not saying there was no collateral damage, but the end result was that people now default to not believing such allegations.


I don’t understand what you’re arguing, could you be more specific? I know about #MeToo, but what exactly are you saying worked, and what are you claiming people default to not believing?


It doesn't have to be dangerous allegations. Fabricate a video of your country's dictator carrying a giant Boulder, with a flattering subtitle. This will send a message that videos could be deepfaked to such a degree.
