What a claim record is How to read this page

One statement, bounded on purpose

The headline is a single claim that a named source supports. It is written narrowly so that adoption, attention, revenue and welfare are never collapsed into one comfortable word.

The three sections below the fold

What this does not establish is the boundary of the evidence. Counterevidence & uncertainty is what argues the other way. What would change the reading is the observation that would move it. A record missing any of the three is incomplete, not merely brief.

Primary routes are checkable

Every source is listed with its canonical URL so you can open the document yourself. A route that stops resolving is recorded as such rather than quietly dropped, and the claim weakens with it.

What this does not establish

The figures do not identify losses caused by a particular brand, advertising channel, deepfake technique or enforcement failure.

Counterevidence & uncertainty

The FTC notes that only a small fraction of mass-market fraud is reported to government or a Better Business Bureau, so administrative totals materially understate population harm even while category overlap can inflate simple sums.

What would change the reading

Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, context changes and deployed commercial or human outcomes.
