I think you're assuming we're discussing regulating deep fakes (the software), when really everyone is talking about regulating deep fakes (, the use of).

... This is to say, making it illegal to generate life-like images and videos of celebrities, non-celebrities, and political figures without consent is in no way this doomsday scenario you say.

Defamation and libel are illegal. You can use open-source tools to perform defamation and libel, or you can use those same tools in a way that doesn't constitute defamation and libel.

Part of the confusion around regulation, at least in the US, is that movie studios such as Disney REALLY want to be able to use deepfakes of celebrities

It's foolish to think you can restrict one and not the other, and it's even more foolish to think our authoritarian governments would do that it they could
