The #2 cause of death for people in the US aged 10-14 is suicide. Suicide is #3 for ages 15-24.
> b) If deepfake postings happen often enough, it kinda takes the sting out.
Ask any child subject to chronic bullying whether the repeated abuse "takes the sting out".
- lrvick 3y ago"Your mom" jokes used to be something someone would start a fight over. Now they only elect an eye roll. At some point soon every teen will know how to generate pictures of anything they can imagine. Teach impacted teen girls how to make deepfakes too and that it is not real. The world is not ready for this, but it is happening and can not be stopped so education is all we have left. It is only shocking right now because it is new and seems like magic. We should be educating teens on body positivity, and that anyone that shares a deepfake of them is announcing of how big of a child they are, and why they should not be taken seriously. It will just become an eye roll once everyone can do it and understands how easy it is. Background noise.
