Yeah, before the internet every little town had a few lunatics and mentally challenged people, but they were alone. The net has connected them and gave them a voice, and by god, is it loud and obnoxious.

I agree that we can judge the creator, at least initially. However, this is like Pandora’s box where you can’t put the contents back in. If falsified content is released that tarnishes the reputation of someone else, that will spread beyond the original creator and stay in the public domain for years.

It’s not inconceivable that we enter a world of faked videos depicting speeches, war crimes, sexual affairs, etc that may very well be fakes, and they will get harder and harder to distinguish from reality
