The world's most-visited deepfake website and another large competing site are stopping people in the UK from accessing them, days after the UK government announced a crackdown.

    A few security vendors are flagging it as a malicious site… I would be wary about clicking this link or using this site: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/6cbf35e9b2160be2aa59844f900f911113b7fe724b1d941853a4b8253586acfc

      What are the chances that the ones marking as malicious are owned by media conglomerates that are losing money because of the service 12ft supplies?

      3/92 on virus total is a great result. The only scanners reporting a problem are the ones that are always wrong.

        For scanning files, maybe.
        The vast majority of websites I go to have 0 detections.
        Occassionally, there are some with 1 detection.
        3 looks suspicious to me based on my experience, but I’m leaving that for everyone else to decide.

        At least this way everyone can make their own informed decision about visiting some random proxy site that they’d never heard of before.
