Google has banned the use of its Colaboratory (Colab) platform to create dipfakes. Colab is Google's free interactive cloud-based code environment.

At the moment, with the help of neural network training via Colab, it is possible to create dipfakes so realistic that the substituted faces look almost like their own.

This measure is probably a continuation of Google's fight against fake information on the Internet, since dipfakes are often used in fake videos of news or near-news content, and not only.
