How about we approach all digital media the same way we do movies. Understand that most of it is fake. Trust what you see in person. It's not going to get any better. And the last thing we need is govt deciding what is and isn't acceptable in terms of digital media.
Not a bad approach. The real issue is going to be with video/photos. Going forward they won't be any real persuasive thing in politics or crime. Now the detective world has an out --they need only almost literally go back to the Sherlock Holmes /Scotland Yard of 19th C era. Case solving and detective work was not dependent on photos or recordings.
Politics may go more the route Bill Clinton showed- --- shamlessness the best answer for blackmail. No blackmail will be assumed legitimate anymore.
Have said for a while this generation will be the last to know for sure what was real video wise, and mine the last to know with photos because the switchover pre-dates the ability to have faked or even created them.
19th Century may offer guidance in many areas -- the over-saturation era may end up with the same effect as not having any of it.

Leftist Democrats "have completely overplayed the Racism accusation. Honestly my first reaction when I hear it today is to assume bad intentions by the accuser, not the accused."
