First thing I thought was that's a huge double-edged sword.
I was glad to see this very close to the top of the article.
Absolutely right. I don't care what you do in private but the moment you start depriving others of life and liberty for those same actions, well...I won't weep when the axe falls on that person
About to become some Leopards Ate My Face content real soon I bet
Except really I think these kind of reveals will slowly lose their relevance since we are getting tools that make it far easier to do "Deepfakes". So it will just become the goto answer. In some ways its liberating, in other ways horrific since it will mean accountability is far harder. Hell we already have the trial run with this whole discussion of "Fake news".
I think consequences accruing to bad people for the wrong reasons are still worth concern, personally.
