This doesn't really seem like a new problem. It wasn't so long ago that most news was disseminated in text form which has been easily faked forever. The solution should be improving the ways of verifying the information we receive. I guess the main difference now is most people would see a video on social media and believe it. 20-25 years ago I was taught not to believe everything you read online and that hasn't changed.
There's a big difference between reading an article claiming a politician did something, and watching video that (appearers to) shows a politician doing something. That's the danger with deepfakes, that they will reach the point where direct audio-visual sources can no longer be trusted.
