The amount of people in this thread that doesn't see this as a problem is disturbing.
I think the main issue many people are taking is that these fakes have been around for a bit, but NOW there's a call to legislation when it's a billionaire that's the victim.
Of course it's a problem and I've said before that this needs to be discussed on a legislative level, but even I'm rolling my eyes that it took a literal billionaire being exposed to it to have any impact.
I am pretty sure if fakes where around before swifts where there too.
Then you’re wrong. Taylor Swift’s career predates this technology.
