The scenario that worries people is less "photograph of some important person naked" and more "photograph of you naked". State of the art image tech is more than capable of allowing people to create convincing porn of their enemies (or creepy crushes). I don't know if that genie can be put back into the bottle, but it's hard to complain that researchers aren't interested in providing the genie as a service.

If someone wants to crank it to what amounts to a high tech doodle of me doing naughty things to myself I don't see how that's any of my business. There are people in the world how put real legit porn of themselves on the internet, I'm sure they'd find this fearmongering about fake pictures and videos of themselves on the internet laughable. It is the closest to inconsequential you can get, posting yellow pages information on twitter is far more damaging.
