Netflix Is Hiding One of the Most Unsettling Horror Thrillers About the Dangers of Social Media

In the early days of social media, one major fear among rising stars was having their private photos leaked and spread throughout the internet. Not only was it a malicious violation of privacy, but it could potentially ruin careers, or, ironically, help build them. Recently, with the advancement of AI and Deepfake technology, hackers are able to generate and circulate nude photographs of celebrities that aren't even real, but terrifyingly realistic. This is becoming an increasing issue with underage celebrities and other A-listers like Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, and Natalie Portman. Even the Department of Homeland Security has published documents about the increasing threat of deepfake identities. This real-life threat to personal identity is what makes 2018's Cam so terrifying.
