      T: Information Fakes Evoke Real Memories

      FP: Information fakes evoke "real memories," and this is not fiction but the result of conducted research. The concern is that people are often unable to change their opinions, even after learning about the deception.

      SP: Unfortunately, this feature is often exploited by political strategists during election campaigns, as fake news can artificially raise or lower politicians' ratings. A major danger lies in the fact that modern technology allows for the quick "editing" of any image, and even video.
