This article critically examines the regulation of deepfakes under Article 50 ofthe Regulation on Artificial Intelligence. The paper begins with a general reflection on the impact of deepfakes on democracy, explores how deepfakes specifically affectpublic debate, and then proceeds to analyze Article 50 of the Regulation on Artificial Intelligence in a comprehensive way. The outcome of the analysis leads to a clear conclusion: deepfakes are poorly regulated in the AI Regulation. The article discusses the practical implications of this flawed regulation and concludes with a series of de lege ferenda considerations, the most significant of which is the concept of the counterfactual standard.
