If only the FBI had this technology in the 50s, they would have been able to make a much better fake recording of MLK cheating on his wife to send to her in the mail. Imagine all the blackmail and shit disturbing they and their sicko friends can do now.

I almost feel like the best defensive thing to do would be to create lots of fake porn of oneself. Then at least no one can hold it over you.

I didn’t know that tape was faked. I thought he was cheating on his wife.

My understanding is that he was cheating on his wife but the tape was a fake.

It was probably pretty difficult to get a good incriminating recording.
