backdating and forging online content is an interesting concept in itself. you see it accidentally crop up with the way google search indexes old online articles. the technology to convincingly alter the recent past creates a type of time-fraud risk. linked triple ledger networks with unique ids (public)(private)(authoritative) could solve this problem for individuals, but information validity might become as fungible as a memory or an idea. floating around in a byte-stream as easy as backspacing away my last sentence.
