Pitch: Just like Winston from "1984" but in a modern, not-to-distant future...

'They' create an app that goes into peoples phones, cloud accounts and photocopier cache memories to edit images & videos to remove things 'the government' doesn't want people to know about.
Obvious solution: return everything to physical media; plot twist: you can't!

Re: On The Subject of DeepFakes

I mean, you're not wrong. I'm not sure it would even be possible for modern civilization to go back to working through hard copies of everything without a complete societal collapse first.

As for Cyberpunk Dystopia concepts, my brain went the route of what happens when DeepFake meets the rise of the all consuming surveillance state. Either the one we can see (London) or the one we can't (NSA in every phone, XBox and fridge near you). What happens when anyone with the penchant to go looking, can find hours upon hours of high resolution surveillance footage being feed live to central government storage for processing.

I mean, one day I'm absolutely working this into an actual project, but this is verbatim what I wrote in my random ideas doc last night:

"Identity Scraper. Virus that spreads out across the omni-present CCTV network that covers the City. Silently gathering thousands of hours of behavioral data, voice and visual reference on a specified target, which is then sent to an Identity Duper that process’s that data into a fully functioning digital clone for all your nefarious needs."

Thus intensifying the arms race. Excellent.
