Soldiers' social media creates a deepfake training corpus that adversaries mine for impersonation

Active-duty military personnel post thousands of hours of video and audio to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, providing adversaries with high-quality training data for voice cloning and face-swapping models targeted at specific individuals. A platoon leader's TikTok account with 50 videos provides enough data to clone their voice with 95%+ accuracy. This creates a persistent vulnerability where every public social media post increases the deepfake attack surface. This persists because military social media policies are unenforceable (personnel use personal devices on personal time), and the operational security risk of social media content as deepfake training data is not yet incorporated into OPSEC training doctrine.
