I think there are generational aspects to this.

The older generation (gen-x) and before has been trained to believe traditional media (and by extension, anything that is published on a "website" and/or forwarded on Whatsapp). Images, pictures etc. add to the authenticity. Of course, it's easier to forward than to investigate and refute.

The younger generation is less influenced by this but also care less about generating and forwarding these. Most of these things are "just a joke". In a weird way, pushing out non-consensual nude of someone is the same as editing someone's face in a group photo with dog ears and sending it to a circle of friends.

I don't know what the solution is but this kind of thing erodes trust. Photographs used to be evidence that can be used to establish trust and we've been culturally conditioned to accept them that way. This takes a sledgehammer to that and it's not easy to untrain a whole society away from a deeply conditioned feeling so easily.

I'm just waiting (with some dread) for the day that you can sync up multiple cameras with AI to fake from different angles.
