    Hi Seth,
    
    I might also suggest WITNESS as a resource. They've written some excellent
    reports and conducted several regional workshops on risks and mitigations.

       <https://blog.witness.org/2020/05/authenticity-infrastructure/>:* This
       blog explores key questions around the recent move to authenticity
       infrastructure, as well as initiatives like Adobe's Content Authenticity
       Initiative
       <https://theblog.adobe.com/the-content-authenticity-initiative-summit-collaborating-to-drive-trust-and-transparency-online/>.

    - *What's needed in deepfakes detection?
       <https://blog.witness.org/2020/04/whats-needed-deepfakes-detection/>:* This
       blog explores concerns around making detection work for a diverse range of
       global users, and highlights recent work in this area including insights
       from governance of the Deepfakes Detection Challenge.

    Amid
       today's crisis, the spread of inaccurate information can cause further
       panic, and lead to behavior that increases the risk of spreading
       transmission. In this new WITNESS resource, we provide tips and guidance
       on how you can help slow the spread of misinformation by verifying images
       and videos that you see online.
       - *Countering misinformation in the era of COVID-19
       <https://soundcloud.com/witnessorg/countering-misinformation-in-the-era-of-covid-19>:*
    In
       this second episode of our new WITNESS Africa podcast, Corin speaks
       about WITNESS' work around deepfakes and synthetic media, sharing
       strategies to detect and counter the spread of misinformation online
