Reddit has shut down /r/deepfakes, the subreddit where people collaborate to produce incredibly disturbing faceswapped pornography. The forum was a mix of terrible and wonderful, filled with tutorials and Q&As that introduced nontechnical people to video-manipulation techniques, sometimes for unambiguously nice purposes and also to create trenchant political videos. The subreddit has been suspended as of 1PM eastern today, the site has been shut down. The video that hit one billion views 12 years after it was posted has been uploaded to YouTube.”]
