Denmark plans to become the first country in the world to give its citizens copyright over their faces and voices in an effort to clamp down on “deepfakes” — videos, audio clips and images that are digitally doctored to spread false information.

Fair point. Still, I have to question how many normal citizens can afford to do that. I've literally never heard a news heading like "Portugal citizen takes IBM to trial, execs in jail for 25 years".

    Guess we just don't have very many cases like that. Companies aren't really known to exploit their workers here the same way you see in some other countries. Hell, they all encourage that you're part of a union. Some won't even hire you if you're not.

    Usually when execs get busted for something, it's tax-fraud and such. And the few that abuse workers get fired pretty damned fast.
