Do you know "The boy who cried wolf"? Fabricate some allegations yourself and this will train people to disbelieve them.
- latexr 2y agoThat sounds like a dangerous proposition. Either they fabricate allegations about a “nobody” and put them in trouble or they fabricate allegations about those in power and will be investigated and put themselves in danger. Neither strategy is good.
- blueflow 2y agoIt worked pretty fine with #MeToo. Not saying there was no collateral damage, but the end result was that people now default to not believing such allegations.
- latexr 2y agoI don’t understand what you’re arguing, could you be more specific? I know about #MeToo, but what exactly are you saying worked, and what are you claiming people default to not believing?
- GreenWatermelon 2y agoIt doesn't have to be dangerous allegations. Fabricate a video of your country's dictator carrying a giant Boulder, with a flattering subtitle. This will send a message that videos could be deepfaked to such a degree.
- ryzvonusef 2y agoDoesn't work. You are assuming that people who are part of lynch mobs have the critical thinking skills to differentiate between real vs fake, and use logic. Reminds me of the post I read on twitter, of some Thai/Chinese New Yorker whose mother told him not to speak Mandarin in public when COVID related Anti-Asian hate was rampant.... And he had to explain to her that she can't expect the sort of person who hits a random Asian to differentiate between Thai and Mandarin.
