This is doable right now with some effort, which I kind of like because it keeps the cat-and-mouse game paused for a while.

The moment someone makes a one-click browser that lets the average person spoof all these things, then sites are going to start building captcha-style verification mechanisms like having to "wink three times" in your video to get it to proceed.

Deepfakes are already here, we have that cat (or mouse) taken care of.

But someone would still have to program that SnapCam filter specifically for each captcha, and that process is not widespread and easy yet, so it will pause for a few more years hopefully.
