An interesting angle here is the arms race between manipulation and forensics. In image forensics, clever people are using clever techniques to keep us tethered to some notion of authenticity in digital media. Like this guy: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/farid/downloads/publications/wifs17.pdf http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/farid/downloads/publications/wif... These emerging video manipulation tools open new frontiers for related forensics research. In 10 years, when we see a video of someone doing something horrible, these people are perhaps our only hope of knowing whether or not what we're seeing ever happened.
