Everything was normal at school… until Zeynep, Mert, and Ayşe saw a video shared in their class group chat. In the video, the school principal, Mr. Kerem, said that all exams were canceled.

The students cheered with joy. But a few minutes later, the truth came out: The video was fake. The principal never said those words. But how could it look so real?

Zeynep was suspicious. "This could be a deepfake!" she said. Mert had never heard of deepfakes before. Ayşe researched it on the internet:

The three friends went to talk to their computer science teacher.

The teacher explained that this was a serious problem and a clear violation of digital ethics.

 Ayşe independently supervised the teacher and asked, “So how can we detect deepfakes?” The teacher explained to look for irregularities in facial details, abnormal eye movements, and problems with the lips. Zeynep added, “How can people who benefit from this complain?” The teacher recommended that they report suspicious content to the platforms and create permanent productions on digital ethics in their communities. Mert enthusiastically said, “It would be great to discuss this further!” The three friends decided to organize a temporary event in collaboration with the computer club. The teacher supported.

While scrolling through social media, Zeynep noticed a strange video. In it, someone she recognized was speaking oddly, and their expressions looked unnatural. Could this be a deepfake? She examined the video carefully. The blinking rate, lip-sync, and facial expressions were all off.

Without hesitation, she clicked the ‘Report’ button below the post and selected “Fake content.” She also warned her friends, contributing to community safety. The video was soon removed from the platform. Zeynep’s attentiveness was appreciated at school too. Her teacher praised her as a role model, once again highlighting the importance of digital awareness.
