  4. Digital-life scenario: What synthetic media convincingly imitates a real person’s appearance or voice?

    Photo metadata can include camera model, capture time, and location, so removing it may protect privacy.

  4. Wellbeing-and-community scenario: What freely given, informed, specific, and reversible agreement is required for personal interactions?

    Consent can be withdrawn at any time and agreement to one action does not imply agreement to another.
