The company that does my life insurance works with Trust Stamp. turns out they also work with ICE (multiple news sites) and train their AI on your sensitive information (privacy policy) despite touting themselves as being privacy-first and “hashing” your facial geometry.
I recently started to write my first screenplay, and being speculative fiction, I decided to go basically all in with the realism. In fact, since it involves some topics that are pretty controversial right now, I'm a bit nervous that it might end up having too much realism. That being said, I was curious to know your thoughts on realism and how much you usually put in your screenplays.
So for context, I’ve been trying to tell my family about age verification. For them, it’s always “focus on what you can control” or “I haven‘t seen any popups” or “I don’t live in the UK.” I even showed my mom the popup on my Google account, and she told me to “just take a selfie.“
I realized that until they see the impact of these kinds of systems, the average user isn’t gonna care. And by the time it actually affects them, it would probably be too late. I came up with the idea of a TV show (or some other media) that shows what could happen in the future if age verification and digital ID aren’t stopped.
If we’re assuming this media somehow went mainstream, do you think it could get the average person to actually think about why these laws are being passed? If that wouldn’t work, what do you guys think would work (or do you think nothing could make them care)?
