I am just waiting for someone to build a deep_nude_realtime_zoom plugin so I can finally tell people that we should take digital security, privacy and identity seriously.

Absolutely. I could do my video conference calls naked and blame the result on my new deep fake software. Hell, I can even do that now without having the software. My colleagues are nerdy enough to assume such software already exists

That would give everyone an alibi and make them care even less about privacy.

I really wonder what government agencies will do with deepfakes. Will they doctrine evidence like they do now at a greater scale?

They already distribute CP, encourage people to believe in Russian conspiracies, troll, encourage violence and the list goes on. So fucked up that we think it is normal.

If it truly becomes commonplace, then there is a chance video of any kind will lose some of its visual impact. Having seen enough of these, people will hopefully be more cautious about assuming videos are true.
