The pattern across Colorado, Nigeria, and Ukraine is not that deepfakes are spreading — it is that every institutional response is being invented from scratch, locally, against an adversary that operates at scale across all three simultaneously.

None of these mechanisms talk to each other, and none is designed to catch what the others miss.
