>imagine thinking than people actually care about truthness

I think they actually care about "truthness" when it comes to how others will perceive them. You might filter your face for an online photo.

However, you're not going to want to look at yourself through your selfie camera with a filter that hides your imperfections when you're checking to see if something is stuck in your teeth on a date, don't you think?

There's nuance. People will fudge the truth to be perceived better, but don't want to be lied to when gathering data about how to be perceived better.

No, but you definitely use it in all the pictures you put on dating apps

Sure, but just because I may want to filter the photos I post, doesn't mean I want my mirror to show me a distorted view of reality. Isn't this use case more like the mirror, and less like the dating app?
