With the new "always recorded" culture any unscripted behavior can be edited out of context by malicious actors.
I used to work with journalists who media trained corporate spokespeople for TV interviews. It feels like we are now carefully managing our brand at all times in the same way. Pray that you don't get your 15 minutes of fame.
- friendlybus 7y agoEditing out of context can be managed by having a predictable reputation which most people have, but it's in the dark. Editing out of existence is scarier. The police body cam footage disappearing means there's already holes in the net. If we grow to rely on non-public surveillance and data, the record can be changed behind the scenes. Increasingly so as deep fakes and video fakery grows. I've already had my 15 mins of severe negative attention. It was a relief in some sense that for some sectors of life at least, it has no long lasting negative repercussions. There was a DEFCON talk about statistical deanonymization of data. You can relatively easily correlate points of data like URL visits down to a few identities that can be validated. It's easy to identify anonymised data. This ID'd a german judge who liked to watch porn of a particular taste during chambers and some of the working day. The more these stories grow in number, the more we have to ask questions about what is normal for people in society to do and how we manage the privacy of those acts. The 15mins of negative attention is to boldly go to the frontier of this stuff at the moment.
