The label in the room
The same hash is printed at the foot of the label. If they match, nobody changed the text.
Beltracchi was caught by a white pigment that did not exist in 1914. A deepfake is betrayed by one impossible detail too. In doubt about a video? Find the original source.
Бельтракки попался на титановых белилах, которых в 1914 году ещё не было. Дипфейк тоже выдаёт одна невозможная деталь: пальцы, свет, метаданные. Сомневаетесь в видео — найдите первоисточник.
