Deepfakes will have to be handled at the legal/government level. They’ll have to be made illegal to possess or distribute similar to how we currently treat ch*ld-abuse images. Not much individuals can do at the moment. (Other than “hermit-mode” like you said. But who wants that right?)

If it makes you feel better tho, this will most likely happen fairly quickly once powerful people start to comprehend the true-scope of issues that this tech could cause if left un-relegated. It’s all fun and games until some congressman finds out that creeps are making deepfakes of his 11-year-old daughter. Then you’ll see both the left and the right unite on a war-path to get this type of tech under-control. So we’ll just be patient for now. Deepfakes will most likely be a temporary issue before society wakes the fuck up and comes to its senses.

Reasonably nothing can be done, except perhaps harsh punishments for people spreading deepfake stuff. But on a personal level it's impossible to regulate.

There's no chance we'll get ban on this sooner than these algorithms get open sourced. Not to mention it has legit uses. Really, what is going to happen is it will be even harder to get to a truthful and real content.

What is going to happen is we won't be able to trust every recording we see or hear, much like we do with text. That's it.

They don’t even need to ban the tech. Just certain uses of it. All they’d have to do is make it highly illegal to possess or distribute deepfake images without expressed consent from the people being depicted.

Because it certainly worked and CSAM is no longer a thing, right?

Do you not think that the proliferation of it has been significantly reduced to the point where it’s extremely rare and unusual to meet someone that possesses it now? Be logical. If they can get deepfakes to that point, that’s a W. No matter how you try to spin it.
