     @arstechnica showing your Conde Nast roots in the ambiguity of this headline, which suggests the deepfakes were of her endorsement of Harris, not the faked ones of Trump.

     @arstechnica @Chancerubbage @pthenq1 there's nothing grammatically wrong with Ars Technica's headline for this article.

     My fiancée (who is a bit of a Swiftee) and I are both proud of Taylor for her positive response to what was a hijacking of her image for ill-gotten political gain.

     @arstechnica sentence phrasing is definitely ambiguous. All they needed to do was insert a comma in place of the "in" to avoid confusion. The misleading title was intentional.
