Interesting to read that many people would trust someone who looked like them more than they'd trust others. Almost unbelievable. I mean, look in the mirror and you want to tell me with a straight face you'd trust that guy? 

"Facebook Misinformation Is Bad Enough. The Metaverse Will Be Worse

Here's a plausible scenario that could soon take place in the metaverse, the online virtual reality environments under rapid development by Mark Zuckerberg and other tech entrepreneurs: A political candidate is giving a speech to millions of people. While each viewer thinks they are seeing the same version of the candidate, in virtual reality they are actually each seeing a slightly different version. For each and every viewer, the candidate's face has been subtly modified to resemble the viewer.



This is done by blending features of each viewer's face into the candidate's face. The viewers are unaware of any manipulation of the image. Yet they are strongly influenced by it: Each member of the audience is more favorably disposed to the candidate than they would have been without any digital manipulation."
