My first thought was that seems harmless …

…then it occurred to me: children

<nauseated disgust> … still technically harmless, but it is a different frame on things.

They can try to censor this all that want. People who want it will get it. So 'letting' people is kinda " 'uhmmm okay."
Stealing music, movies, etc. is also illegal. Then again child porn is illegal too, hopefully that will take precedence over all the above.

Deepfakes are coming, and deepfakes are here. Trusting your eyes is over, (¿unless your there in person?)

This is 'progress' in a way. See every comic book movie. Those people can't do/aren't doing those things.

Consent is weird here. If you push a deepfake out with the intention of misleading people that's could be libel/slander.
But one shouldn't be able to do this ever?

When you draw on people's pictures, that's a low tech form of this … where is the line? In a way it's almost verging on thought crime.

I don't like this business from the article:

"It's good that it's been shut down, but this reasoning makes no sense. The app's INTENDED USE was to indulge the predatory and grotesque sexual fantasies of pathetic men."

Yeah it's really disgusting that men would want to see women they know naked <dead-pan> … [also see biology].

I think these are some of the arguments/ line of thinking they pushed to be 'anti-pornography'. They suggested that people would become ravenous and sex-crazed. Ironically, in most cases it had a contrary effect. Though there are consequences to that too, good and bad.

All that written, it IS discomfortingly screwed up. It's like the very super creepy version of facebook stalking. I don't like that, it makes me feel weird [facebook]. If you want me to know/see things …

Facebook is up for the world to see, but then there's a point where you've seen too much. Despite it being public you're still a 'stalker'. Seems like it would be really weird interacting with people after seeing stuff like that (deepfakes).

If only there were some other less creepy way to satiate these desires … [… there's also 60% of the Internets] … hmmm.

I think we should veer toward freedom, whenever/wherever possible. I don't see the immediate harm here. Maybe there should be limits to publishing without consent? Though I did see naked Trump micro-penis depiction, etc. a few years back. [very classy]. He's a public figure so that's a bit different(?)
