Influence actors linked to Russia in particular are manufacturing videos and creating fake articles to undermine the legitimacy of the election, instill [sic] fear in voters regarding the election process, and suggest Americans are using violence against each other.
This Russian activity is part of Moscow's broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the US election and stoke divisions among Americans.
Deepfakes are one more tool in a larger strategy of false narratives and disinformation.
This narrative is consistent with what we've seen from Storm-1516, especially in recent weeks since they've turned their focus squarely on the US election.
