Read: kids will grow up trusting video the way you and I trust text.

I'm not thrilled that the pearl-clutching about this technology has advanced to 'think of the children.'

I mean I sorta get where you’re coming from, but I would separate that a bit because text is easy to lie about, people have been Leon’s in text forever. Pictures were a little harder, but someone good with photoshop could for instance. Now we’re at the point where nothing is easy to verify. And not just ‘for the children’ this is going not effect everyone.
