Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to reflect corrections made regarding attributions to the Deepfakes Analysis Unit (DAU) and its partners. An earlier version of the story indicated that the conclusions were made by the tools they used for analysis. The conclusions were drawn from the tools used, and these interpretations were made by the DAU. The story was also updated to correct the description of the DAU, as well as to reflect that it was the DAU that got in touch with their partner, GetReal Labs.
This story was updated to correct the provinces under BARMM. An earlier version of the article stated that Lanao del Norte was part of BARMM. Lanao del Norte rejected to be part of BARMM in the 2019 plebiscite. We apologize for this error. The update also reflects the Sept. 9 decision of the Supreme Court that excludes the province of Sulu from the BARMM.
