We've known about this for quite some time. I posted credible testimony on this back in 2012, if not earlier.
When I read about deep fakes, I felt instantly that this technology had been released as a counter offensive to defend the perpetrators of child rape who have been captured on film for the purposes of blackmail.
Well, deep fakes for adult videos are one thing but fighting institutionalised child abuse is our focus for activism, so why take us seriously all of a sudden? I hear the raw video will be verifiable as raw.
It's coming.
If it happens to be me in the HRC video & IF the good guys have been monitoring me the past year (which is entirely possible), then they know I have repeatedly given my express permission for them to use/disclose ANYTHING that may have me in it as a child in order 2catch bad guys https://t.co/Z4SmrpkmbJ— Sarah Ruth Ashcraft (@SaRaAshcraft) March 6, 2018
Udate: @prayingmedic believes that the video will not be of a sexual nature.
3) Some of us assumed it might be a pornographic video but if you think about it, releasing that kind of video doesn't make sense. First, it's illegal. Second, it'll only implicate a couple of people. Q said it would be toxic to anyone connected to it. #Qanon #ReleaseTheVideo pic.twitter.com/OMijhQY77q— Praying Medic (@prayingmedic) March 8, 2018
