PSA - The intermittent glitch that was sporadically affecting GIF and Video media uploads has been resolved. We think. 🤞

What is "DeepFakeDetector?"

It's exactly what it says it is. When you upload media to CounterSocial, our scrubbers also check it for artificial manipulation. If it detects those signatures, you get an alert.

It's a little trigger happy on .gifs because compression algorithms often look like false positives. If you post a lot of .gifs, consider muting @DeepFakeDetector. #CoSoTips
