(1) In the video posted below, the DeSantis' team posted pictures where Donald Trumps kisses Anthony Fauci on the face. The intent of this false information is obvious as DeSantis and Trump are both candidates for the Republican nomination for 2024 presidential election. Thus, it is an example of disinformation online.  https://twitter.com/DeSantisWarRoom/status/1665799058303188992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1665799058303188992%7Ctwgr%5E073236d1681bf5eb082323f7b735e9aa536c46eb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Fworld%2Fus%2Fis-trump-kissing-fauci-with-apparently-fake-photos-desantis-raises-ai-ante-2023-06-08%2F 

(2) Instead of finding a deepfake sex tape and then posting it, I will just forward the news on this site: https://www.popbuzz.com/celeb/manu-rios-video-ai-fake-deepfake-twitter/. The context for this story is that online users appropriate the face of Manu Rios, a Spanish actor, to make an erotic video for attention and money. In response to this video, Rios calls the online environment "scary and weird sometimes." To spread false and harmful information online for intended propose, such as clicks, is the definition of disinformation.
