Any privacy-respecting way for these big labs to keep selling their generators while minimizing e.g. political deepfake harms?

When your average gullible person will fall for a jpeg and a quote, you don't even need deepfake content. You just need to say something and they'll take it at face value. Deep fakes aren't even necessary. AI literally does not even matter.
If there's such a thing as a "sophisticated actor", they'll be able to remove identifying marks. Not that they'll need to.
What you'll be left with is the 99% of society that has everything they do tracked, and eventually platforms that won't allow anything except for signed and attested communication to take place.
We're building our own mouse trap here. Why don't you see this?

Again, you don't even need the specter of AI. You just need to say words and certain people will trust it. There's nothing you can do about that. Yellow journalism and propaganda has been a thing for longer than any of us have been alive.
The "fix" you're proposing is a tool to put us all into permanent shackles. It is a tool that will strip away our rights and put us all into shackles. Perhaps within our lifetimes.
Stop building and advocating for this shit.
