Deepfakes v democracy
How US voters were called by a fake Joe Biden.
Voters in New Hampshire have been getting phone messages apparently from Joe Biden urging them not to take part in the state's presidential primaries. How alarmed should we be about the potential for deepfakes to derail elections? We also talk about the world鈥檚 number one YouTuber, MrBeast and why Elon Musk was desperate to get him onto X. Also on the programme, we explore the government鈥檚 proposed reforms of the 91热爆 and the political debates they have stirred.
