Hmm, quite the contrary i think. Abusive exes will be even more motivated to find and use such an app, at a time when the public will be oblivious to their existence. I think it is inevitable for these kinds of apps and websites to start circulating widely. As always, there will be an initial shock and outrage, after which people will realize it's actually a toy and learn to dismiss it as fake pictures. And if the pictures are really good, i hope this tech can then be used as plausible deniability to someone who had her actual pictures stolen.
- LeonB 7y agoI think the “public” are already aware of photoshopping etc. I don’t agree that this tool will primarily serve to make the public more informed. The effect you’re talking about is far smaller than the main effect. If you really put yourself in the shoes of a victim I believe you’d feel differently.
