Upon release of this Polvoron video in Los Angeles, the Philippine PAIDstream media led by THE CRappler themselves started reporting this was deep fake using face-swapping software. Meta then took down the video.
A source was prompted to send a raw original copy of the video (not screen recorded) to DEEPWARE — a leading company rated number 1 in the world for cutting edge deep fake detection technology.
Engineers from Deepware conducted a thorough MANUAL examination of the video and deemed it authentic, free from any face-swapping and deep fake elements.
DEEPWARE’s certification was sent to Meta together with the appeal for the takedown. The appeal won and Meta was forced to re-upload the video.
In short? THE POLVORON VIDEO IS BY ALL MEANS — AUTHENTIC.
