About InsureMyAvatar

We read the fine print on deepfakes so you don't have to.

A few years ago, “is that video real?” was a strange question. Now it's one we all have to ask, about a voicemail from a relative, a video call with a colleague, a clip of a public figure saying something they never said. The technology that fakes a face or a voice got cheap and convincing in a hurry. The guidance for ordinary people trying to keep up did not.

That gap is why we exist.

InsureMyAvatar is an independent source for understanding the threats to your digital self, your face, your voice, your likeness, your identity online. We cover deepfakes, voice cloning, AI impersonation, and the laws racing to catch up to all of it, in plain English, without the jargon, the fear-mongering, or the upsell.

Here is what makes us different. Plenty of well-funded companies sell deepfake protection products, and some are good. We are not one of them. We have nothing to push, which means we can tell you when you do not need to buy anything at all and just need to change one habit. A company trying to sell you something cannot say that. We can, and that independence is the entire point.

This started as something more ambitious, a plan to build digital-identity insurance. The market moved faster than we could, and rather than become one more vendor in a crowded race, we chose the role nobody was filling: the trusted, neutral place you come to before you decide what, if anything, to buy.

So that is what you will find here. News on deepfake fraud and the people fighting it. Practical guides for protecting your family, your business, and yourself. And a weekly briefing that keeps you a step ahead of threats that move quickly.

Your face and your voice are yours. We are here to help you keep them that way.
