Field notes
The guide breaks its subject into deepfakes, automated accounts, and scrapers that harvest photos, artwork, and words. Its practical section names Glaze and Nightshade as free image-protection tools and gives a short visual-and-audio checklist for spotting fakes, including odd blinks, mismatched lighting, and voices slightly out of sync. A separate directory points Australian readers toward news, government services, eSafety, Beyond Blue, and other sources of help.
