> blackmail from malicious agents and rogue governments showing up at our door with whatever made-up accusation they want.

I think the opposite. I believe that this will kill blackmail. Why care if someone has a leaked sex tape featuring you in an age where anyone can fake them. Simply say it's fake. In a few years, I bet there will be simply apps where you can point to a person's social network accounts and have the app generate whatever you want. Blackmail will die once everyone will have access to those videos with a few clicks.
