    Everyone, go read this piece by @henryfarrell and @rickperlstein on how fake video technologies interact with media business models—and the tornado about to hit our politics (yes, much more than now). This is important. It's here. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/04/opinion/hacking-politics-future.html …pic.twitter.com/Xb6QWc8i2D

        This is an inflection point. We need new method of authentication that do not yet exist. If you met me in the last few years, you know I've been begging technologists in the anti-censorship space to work on this—not just circumvention. Verification is the new anti-censorship.

        Very scary indeed. The fake news already has been bad enough to give control of all branches of the U.S. gov to GOP & Trump.

        We're plagued by ephemeral media, no reporters, no in-group, and no second generation.

        Imo no matter how much post-publication correction is disseminated once the fakery is out, the opinions will b formed & shared to influence the outcome. A bloody cut-throat political or even business model as we have never seen before is developing. We deserve what we feed.

        Don’t think it’s just Fox News making stories up. That’s just plain ignorance.

        I'd agree with that requirement grouping! Literacy alone is a high-bar without tools; tools require political will; political will is harder to gather... But we must. We've faced challenges before--and this is all so new. We haven't yet begun considering/building antibodies.

        Comrade Perlsteinovich - mission abort! The long con has been busted, the decades establishing our deep cover as lefties are as dust and straw. The submarine departs the rendezvous point for Moscow at 2300 hours - be there.
