I don't agree with the solution unless we as a society stop putting trust on any digital media but at that point, this is not necessary. Many governments would love to use this tech so they have incentive to stop others from using it and still let people believe in digital evidence by putting half assed solution like the one you proposed.
The cat is out of the bag. Digital media should not be trusted blindly.
I don’t appreciate the condescension. It’s half assed in that I put a rough direction out there for conversation for a huge problem that will inevitably cause social problems. Your reply isn’t in line with HN guidelines and certainly doesn’t make me want to participate in conversation with you about important topics.
I am really sorry. I could have worded it better. I didn't meant to be condescending to you. My reaction was more to the government.
Governments have a history of putting up solutions that work in their favor by selective enforcement and securing power to self. Encryption debate is one such example.
Thank you for saying that. If you have other solutions that you think could work it would be good to get them out there. Disinformation is a giant problem already just with social media alone. Now add in the ability to create false yet convincing AV evidence and the potential for large social harm explodes. It hasn’t become widespread just yet, so now is the time.
