This technology should be illegal.

Agree.

What are we going to do? We will use our best instincts about "what is likely that this person in the video would do? Is he doing something in this video that is too strange? That is out of character for him/her? Can I independently corroborate this, from a completely different source?"

We always used this process, but we will have to get better at it.

People develop improved technology, but they should develop improved culture.

Good culture combined with bad technology is better than bad culture combined with good technology.

So we rely on our inner Baloney Detectors. Always have a late model Baloney Detector, well oiled, with a fresh battery.

And re-read Shakespeare's play, "Othello." He failed at this. Very instructive play. And rip-snorting, wild ride, entertainment.

They can swap faces onto other bodies. So, there is a concern about revenge porn, where you substitute your ex-girlfriend's face onto porn. And then allege that she really made porn.

They say it's still unclear what law says about this.

But a person obviously owns their own face image, as the first, inalienable copyright. It's theirs and nobody can use it without permission. Nothing unclear about that.

For instance, google is careful not to show recognizable people in its street views. They spend much valuable time and energy blurring faces. Why? They don't want lawsuits.

Theft of identity is a well known concept, defined as illegal.
