Also, it stopped making sense when we got cameras in everyone's pockets and courts still couldn't consistently get convictions on cops committing murder on video.

And then society never adjusted between the invention of pocket cameras and the invention of deepfake videos. Soon, neither courts nor the simple process of proving a fact will be up to date methods of handling governance anymore. Intuition and interpersonal character testing will become everyone's only authorities to trust. That's exciting, except terrifying because people seem terrifyingly ill-equipped for it.

Terrifying, because most people will accept "appeal to authority" as the arbiter of truth, rather than develop skills.

So, the problem that's been growing since before I was born, but worse and faster...

It's a game whose creators can't win it. In the end, either honesty wins, or everyone loses.
