A thread on the creation of virtual pornography was pulled
Vanity | 2/19/2019

Posted on 02/19/2019 5:45:55 AM PST by Drew68

The mods said it was not news.

Actually, the ability for this emerging technology to destroy lives and reputations is very much newsworthy and that is what was primarily being discussed.

Sometimes this place can be a little quick with the trigger finger.

That's all.

THIS IS NOT A THREAD

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/bjye8a/reddit-fake-porn-app-daisy-ridley

Just a link to an article of possible interest to people who came to this thread.

Agreed. I thought it was incredibly newsworthy as it opens up several pandoras boxes. Child porn, fake celebrity tapes, fake politicians. This is incredibly scary stuff and whatever mod pulled it needs to take off the pull ups and put their big boy pants on.

Re-post your thread as "chat."

I think that's what the Mod was saying.

It can be used for Videos other than porn as well, anytime they want to fake person being caught doing something. And their separate apps which let you change the lips in a video so you can catch someone on tape saying whatever you want to make them say

I’ll repost what I found when I clicked a link in the article.
Instead of going to where I suppose it had previously gone, it now led to this...

“r/deepfakes has been banned from Reddit
This subreddit was banned due to a violation of our content policy,
specifically our policy against involuntary pornography.”

I thought that was good news.

I didn't post the thread. I can't recall who did.

It was news.

The more alarming aspect of this technology is in its ability to potentially create fake videos of “hate” crimes. Imaging if they were able to doctor up video of jussie smellitt’s attackers as, say, Freepers?

Or our kids.

Or our kids, with Yertle the Turtle, or a supreme court appointee, or The Donald, or Ronaldus Magnus, or...

Some appear to want FReepers to be ignorant of the technology.

Vannrox.

He posts several cheesy blog threads every day.

That one he chose to post in "News".

He did not choose wisely.

I can’t even imagine a positive use for it.

I suppose if you were an actor, you could license your image for the use in legitimate films and make money without ever leaving the house. Heck, 55-year old Brad Pitt could license 25-year old Brad Pitt for a role. Or John Wayne. Who knows?

So when the inevitable “Donald Does Ivanka” porn video surfaces in time for the 2020 campaign, we will know it’s a fake.

I’ve been told that digital photos are not allowed as court evidence any more. Guess we know why.

I don’t know if watching porn is destructive, but it is just as boring as watching golf. Both are 1000 times more fun doing it yourself.
