= Protect your appearance from covert modeling =

* '''Avoid uploading''' facial and full body '''photos''' and '''video''' of yourself to services where they are exposed to the whole Internet.
* If you need to upload photos, wear '''protective clothing''', e.g. [[Glossary#Niqāb|niqāb]] or [[Glossary#Burqa|burqa]] or protective accessories e.g. sunglasses.
* Consider getting  a non-photorealistic '''[[w:Avatar (computing)|w:avatar]]''' of your liking and use pictures of it to shield your appearance.
* '''Do not agree''' or get fooled to having your '''[[Glossary#Reflectance capture|reflectance captured]]''' in a '''[[Glossary#Light stage|light stage]]'''.

= Protect your voice from covert modeling =
* '''Avoid uploading''' unaltered '''recordings of your [[w:Human voice|w:human voice]]''' to services where they are exposed to the whole Internet.
* '''Consider altering''' the voice of your recordings if you must upload to the Internet with a '''[[Glossary#Voice changer|voice changer]]''' or '''synthetic voice''' that does not match any human's voice. 
* '''Avoid getting recorded''' by parties whose identity and reliability you cannot verify, especially if they do not expressly state how, where and for what purpose they will use the recording
* Ask for a voice changer to be applied if getting recorded to something that will be publicly broadcast

= Protect your mind from the products of covert modeling =
* '''Teach your loved ones''' the 2 key '''media literacy''' skills for this age of industrial disinformation:
## Not everything that looks like a video of people is actually a video of people
## Not everything that sounds like a recording of a known human's voice is actually a recording of that person's voice.
* '''Don't''' watch '''porn'''. A dodgy porn site or few is a hefty risk of seeing some [[digital look-alikes]].
* Be critical of gossip about stuff claimed seen on the Internet.

= Protect others from the products of covert modeling =
* Read [[#Protect your mind from the products of covert modeling]] first. It is usually found above this. Also reading it to others has potential to help them.
* If you have strong evidence to '''suggest''' that some person may be '''under the influence''' of '''digital look-alikes''', '''try to talk to them'''. The '''[[Glossary|BCM! wiki glossary]]''' helps talk about things with their real names.

= How to protect our societies from covert modeling  =
== Contact your representatives ==
'''Contact''' your '''representatives''' and '''ask''' them ...
* '''If''' they are '''aware''' of these '''new classes of disinformation weapons'''?
* What is their position on the  '''[[Law proposals to ban covert modeling|criminalizing covert modeling]]'''-question?
* If steps are being taken to [[#How to protect judiciaries from covert modeling|protect the judiciary from covert modeling]]?
* '''What''', '''if anything''', they are doing to put this hyper-modern '''lawlessness''' under some check?
* '''To talk''' with '''colleagues''' and also '''publicly''' about the problems caused by covert modeling.

'''If they don't believe''' ask them to... 
* Work for the creation of '''fact-finding taskforce''' to '''ascertain''' the truth that '''[[Glossary#Synthetic terror porn|synthetic terror porn]]''' has been used as a weapon for a longer time. 
* Create a '''fact-finding taskforce''' for determining if implementations of '''[[digital sound-alikes]]-technology''' are available to '''criminals''' and is it being used to commit crimes.

== How to protect judiciaries from covert modeling ==


'''[[Digital look-alikes]]''' and '''[[digital sound-alikes]]''' technologies prompt some changes to '''[[w:Rules of evidence|w:rules of evidence]]''' and updates to what should be '''deemed deniable'''.

'''Recordings''' that sound like someone saying something '''[[digital sound-alikes|may not be genuine]]''' and therefore the suspect should be allowed to state to the court "''I did never say that thing you got on tape.''"

'''Pictures''' and '''videos''' that looks like someone doing something '''[[digital look-alikes|may not be genuine]]''' and therefore the suspect should be allowed to state to the court "''I am not in that image/video.''"

If '''[[Glossary#Media forensics|media forensics]]''' proves beyond suspicion the genuinity of the media in question or if '''credible witness''' to its creation '''is found''', the media should be considered evidence.
