Deepfakes are everywhere, and they’re getting very good.

How will we know what’s real?

For influencers, deepfakes mean lost revenue, as unscrupulous marketers bypass the influencer and produce their own product placements and promotions using that influencer’s likeness.

For politicians, business leaders and news agencies, deepfakes lend credibility to lies. When an unethical activist “rolls the tape” to present fake evidence, everyone loses.

For celebrities and anyone with a public image, deepfakes can wreck reputation. The court of public opinion can be swift and vicious.

Verified Creator badges securely link a not.bot alias to a specific social media account. Any stickers created with that badge will show the Verified Creator badge instead of a reserved name or petname, and will be highlighted in a special color.

Here's how it works

1

To request a Verified Creator badge for one of your aliases, you will be given a small block of text to post on your social media account.

Once it has been posted, submit a publicly-accessible URL where Julia Social can confirm it has been posted by that account

  4. 4. Edit the sticker into your video

    Place the sticker so it’s ~10% of the video’s width (in pixels). Show it in the first few seconds so viewers immediately know the video is signed.

Scan the sticker

  1. 1. Scan from a computer screen

    Point your phone camera at the video playing on your computer. The not.bot app will automatically open and show the signature.

  2. 2. Scan from your phone

    Take a screen capture (press Volume Up + Power), then open the screenshot in the not.bot app. The app will scan the sticker.

Internet-Wide Recognition

Everywhere you use that alias, regardless of platform, or even in person, you can include your Verified Creator badge so everyone knows it’s you.
  • A YouTube creator that wants to engage with fans on X or Discord can use a Verified Creator sticker so everyone knows it is really them.
  • A TikTok creator that posts longer content on YouTube can use a sticker to prove the YouTube account isn’t just a deepfake.
  • Reporters can use stickers to label the videos they take
  • Content creators can prove their online identity at in-person events like conferences.
What stops people from copy-pasting my not.bot sticker on their deepfaked video?
  • Nothing. But if the message in the not.bot sticker is clear and complete, then anyone that scans it will know it is obviously wrong for the video it’s on.
