PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Real-time word swapping plus lip sync turns live streaming from unmodifiable into an editable stream, but deleting and altering content based on viewer profiles also amplifies platform manipulation risk. The patent rejection shows deployment is still far off; what is really worth watching is whether the original recording can serve as a basis for accountability.
