This is a hyperbolic article to be sure. But many in this thread are missing the point. It's not that photo manipulation is new.
It's the volume and quality of photo manipulation that's new. "Flooding the zone with bullshit," i.e. decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio, can have a demonstrable social effect.
It seems like the only defense against this would be something along the lines of FUTO's Harbor, or maybe Ghost Keys. I'm not gonna pretend to know enough about them technically or practically, but a system that can anonymously prove that you're you across websites could potentially de-fuel that fire.
Them - and F2F.
