Can't read the article due to a paywall, but in theory, I hard agree. There's no way they found a statistically significant number of humans of any age or gender who think Trump respects women. His confession to rape is literally on Youtube.

Uh.... I'll try.

Society can't be trusted to handle things like adults should. If it could, very well-done drawings of minors depicting them as nude would be a non-issue as blackmail material both because society would just shrug off any such images being published as inconsequential and because minors would be raised to know that cooperating with blackmailers accomplishes nothing productive.

No.

If we could implement maturity and so on, ease of access to the tools would be a non-issue. And the tools would be as legal as crayons or pencils, and the "material" as legal as any cartoon. But I agree with you that this is a super real practical problem, because we can't.

We really don't have any solution to this yet.

We do, and always have, but good luck with implementation. Humanity hates acting like an adult.

1. Critical thinking: society knows to a certainty deepfakes exist and hence should be intrinsically skeptical of any image they see, demanding the image's source establish some reason to trust the image. We could be less blindly trusting.
2. Body acceptance: for 0 seconds of humanity's history has it made credible sense to shame someone over having seen them naked. We could choose not to.
3. Competence: Appeasing these people only encourages them. If people would just understand that giving your blackmailer what they want is always strictly worse than not doing so, it would remove the incentive to blackmail. Why would you trust your blackmailer to keep your secret? Makes no sense.

Reclusive houses may or may not be recluse houses, you have to check.

Do not buy a recluse house unless you love spiders.

Year, not years: your 5 year old is 5 years old.

Any election where this is even possible is a waste of everyone's time. I don't know what country you worked in, but wherever you were, those were corrupt wastes of time, not elections.

There is no such line. The pillow counts as a weapon and all weapons count as deadly.

Welcome to Mother Jones. They're like The Root - I swear they deliberately hire the least qualified, least competent "journalists" available.

Here's a real article about what happened.

Paywall bypass.
