Only possible upside

Woman accused by HR of bringing company into disrepute by allowing nudes of them to circulate now have a perfect defence.

Around 1900, as reported by Mark Twain, the forgery industry in Bombay was so sophisticated that basically many court cases became impossible. Some forgery firms had been in business so long they had piles of copies of government forms, inks of the appropriate years, old government stamps and so on. And if that didn't work there were professional "witnesses".

A Bombay businessman tried it on us in the 1980s. Unfortunately for him, his doctored photocopies were immediately detected by the judge and his counsel walked out.

Expect a lot of this in future. Apart from anything else, fewer unfortunate teenage girls should be locked up for "sexting" in the US, if they manage to find a judge who has got beyond manual typewriters in some of the more backward states.
