Whether it's presented as real seems a reasonable line to me.

Fox News could not use it to mislead people into thinking Biden said something that he did not, but parody like "Sassy Justice" from the South Park creators (using a Trump deepfake) would still be fine.

Fox News could run it with every disclaimer out there and it would still get picked up by every other conservative channel and site as legitimate.
