I for one, love this. I'm looking forward to Hitler quoting that Sonic kid. Ah glorious, I love this new age we've entered.

  Agreed. I keep hoping that this will make people become less trusting in strangers with strong opinions (e.g., newscasters). Unfortunately, as shown by another link on the HN home page [1], we tend to blindly trust the news. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18004244 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18004244

    Once people's faith in video starts to crumble we may actually see some positive change in that area. Though do keep in mind, you can lead a horse to water, but can you make them drink?

      But will lack of faith in video create a world in which criminals in piwer act with impunity. How can you expose something if all media is suspect. Its a weird future.

        It's an eventuality at this point. There will be ways to determine manipulation, even cameras themselves will probably start embedding extraneous data within video to at least make it more difficult to manipulate. (That is when it becomes impossible to differentiate between reality and lies.) At least then people wouldn't trust what they see at face value.
