I think this gets into the question of “just because you can, should you?” Novel technology has allowed for scenarios that we could scarcely imagine just a few years ago. We have seen this technology used by Hollywood to bring back stars that have passed away. The ethics of that are still being debated, but at least the parties involved (to my knowledge) have given consent. So, there are arguably benevolent uses for this particular technology. What mechanisms, be they legal, technological or otherwise, can we use to protect people’s privacy and self-ownership while not abridging the pursuit of knowledge upon which technology is built?

I don't know whats real anymore

[@RezValla]

None of us do. A UFO could land in the middle of Time Square and we’d never be able to tell if it really happened.

[@firehot9578]

That fact that it originated as a name from reddit is scary

[@abhijitmeti1611]

6:15 I wish internet was more responsible and kinder.. 😔

[@jabberwockydraco4913]

Using deepfakes to say, escalate a war, feels a bit more serious.

The amount of people who think they're entitled to sexualize a woman just because they put their face online is honestly sickening

[@frederickvictor2038]

Omg ur tempting them

[@perisaizidanehanapi7931]

You made me curious though

[@farhanari9547]

i did and i regret it. disturbing comment 😔

[@phillywilly4155]

That scary because it could mess up your whole life.

[@temtem9255]

I mean, as the problem expands the videos wont be taken seriously anymore and the problem wil kinda fade away

Rule 34 is always in effect

@jami0070 oh you sweet summers child....

[@Crick1952]

@jami0070 I can't destroy something so precious. Stay golden Ponyboy, stay golden

[@christhelostsoul9927]

Only drawn content exists in rule34...

[@crazziii_]

There's so much twisted stuff in the world that I just don't know how to live my life anymore.

[@oli9757]

As a kpop fan this was brought to many attention recently through some channels i watch, its really something that everyone should know about because it can really affect every celebrity and person wth their face online honestly. Its just disgusting that people think they can do it, and i really hope people don’t think this is actually okay. Gotta give it to Vox for also giving informed information that many people should know about, the internets just a dark, scary place.

[@AJX-2]

When you put personal information online, you forever lose control of what people do with that information. Photos count as information. Nobody has any reasonable expectation of privacy online.

[@ekaterinavalinakova2643]

Photosites NEED to start making it very clear what rights users are sublicensing uploading images to their sites in such a way that it's not written in legalese, and end users NEED to start reading the TOS. Most people would have never have forseen that uploading an image of themselves by default sublicenses the company to do whatever they want with said image.

[@gasdive]

Missed the impact on the actors who are having their work stolen and their identity erased. There's more than one hurt along the way here.

[@warbler4954]

If we have freedom of speech, privacy is the freedom of not speaking.

[@JamesBond-rb1ln]

Kristen Bell is an angel and the fact that someone would do that astounds me

[@cyrusthe0ther795]

Someone liked angels a little too much

[@guenstigvegan]

We need a Black Mirror episode about Deepfakes immediately

[@kamranakrami3]

Yeah yeah.. we all know your "friend" didn't tell you about those videos of your wife

[@voltagespark7341]

Nothing threatens a woman more then something that takes away from there only real value

[@Luna-fo8np]

[@Spider_____black_widow]

It feels like my mom and sister is not safe anymore

[@brooklynyte]

It's horrible that this is happening, but are you really saying that this is a bigger impact than politics?? Come on now....

[@NafedalbiFilms]

Me, a Two Minute Paper watcher: *I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you*

[@dottod952]

4:05 Yep this video is old

[@djvelocity]

Sorry everybody but the genie is out of the bottle by this point. This technology has been refined over the past decade and it is now here to stay, disruptive as it may be. All of us are vulnerable to its predation and because of the democratization of this technology, in terms of who has access to it and who can therefore leverage it, and because in the future it will become as easy as opening a main video and a few social media photos of somebody within a smartphone app, we need to get comfortable with the idea of this kind of illusion in videography. Trying to rail against it with social justice, repudiation of morality, and legislation are pointless and futile, it’s like shoveling water. The technology is here to stay so all the public can do now is be vigilant and educated so as not to be fooled easily. This is honestly the only path forward

[@BBGUNGAMER110]

Finally someone who understands

[@djvelocity]

goku uzuchia ha yeah bro, I constantly read so I’m well familiar with this technology. It’s nice that people want to hashtag their way out of this but it’s a pointless effort eh?

[@andyc2518]

It's sad how naive Kristen Bell sounds at the end of the video. Sad in the sense that something like that is considered naive when she's absolutely right. I along with countless others have seen just how immature, cruel and insensitive people can be online and there's no fixing that without violating privacy and privacy is needed to protect those most vulnerable. Like with the riots currently going on, you can't quite fix it, you just gotta ride it out and that's what we gotta try to online. Ride it out and hope for the best in the end... even though humans don't really work that way.

[@knowker3269]

It's time to raise awareness that people should never share their private life online (your kids, your food, the places you visit, your wife...) Because the internet is a sword with two blades.
