tablR (website), a Malta-based stablecoin issuer regulated under the EU’s MiCA, positions itself as a transparent and compliant player in the digital assets space.

Mark Zuckderberg praising Spectre in the deepfake video
Spectre is a fictitious secret organization as well as the title of a James Bond franchise. The story sees Bond fighting against the global criminal organization and their leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld. In fact, the “Deepfake Zuckerberg” would fit well into this Spectre.
The video was seen as a test of Facebook’s policy that allows manipulated video on its sites, like the one recently posted of Nancy Pelosi, which had been edited to slur her.
The original, real video was published in September 2017. Zuckerberg gave an address about Russian election interference on Facebook. The caption of the Instagram post says it’s created using CannyAI’s video dialogue replacement (VDR) technology.
