I wish this sentiment were even stronger when it comes to screenshots, e.g. screenshots of purportedly deleted tweets/articles. As we get closer to deepfake-video-on-demand becoming a thing, I'm still astonished at how the vast majority of people don't understand how trivial it is to create pixel-perfect fake web content. My default response to a screenshot is to assume it's faked unless there's an accompanying Wayback Machine/archive.today URL.
