Title: One third of all commercials I see on youtube are outright fake. Either it&#x27;s a fake business story, fake description of &quot;inventions&quot; or outright deep fakes of famous people dubbed to telling lies. I can&#x27;t figure out why google &#x2F; youtube are taking this so lightly, or what it is that is missing from their approval procedure (don&#x27;t they have any?).<p>The production quality is good enough to cheat eg. my parents, but it doesn&#x27;t take me 2 seconds to spot it, so I&#x27;m amazed it can go on.<p>Anyone with background insights into the approval &#x2F; reporting procedure or knowledge of if Google just doesn&#x27;t care?<p>I also assume there must be a healthy business for someone, producing these commercials for companies so eager for attention - could they maybe be called out?<p>For instance, the one triggering me to make this post was of Elon Musk, unveiling some trading platform leading to this site[1], where the video in the ad can also be seen. I have no idea how to link to the youtube ads, but if I did I would have collected a loonng list of fakes by now.<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reuters.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;factcheck-tucker-carlson-elon-musk&#x2F;fact-check-tucker-carlson-segment-on-elon-musk-quantum-ai-is-fake-idUSL1N3A90N2
