    It still sounds like a surprisingly large number of people. And those are only going to be the people that they know about.

    And I don’t see how this is gonna go away if people are gonna want to have sex video chats with random people.

    You can’t really avoid someone recording audio and video even with some sort of trusted hardware rollout. At minimum, the analog hole is gonna be there, and you aren’t gonna need fantastic fidelity for extortion. And there’s clearly demand for sex chats.

    Hmm.

    Well, I don’t know this works socially. Like, are people using video chat services that provides their real identity to the other end? One way would be to run it pseudononymously, where all parties aren’t identifiable. With facial recognition where it is today, faces at least would have to be hidden. Maybe use a real-time generated face. Hard to extort people if you don’t know who they are.

    Another is maybe just to take the human out of the loop. I wonder how hard it is to put together a locally-executed sex chatbot with video generation and image recognition and eliminate the problem on the supply side? We’ve got chatbots, got voice synth, got video generation – dunno about real-time – and got image recognition.
