Every meme photoshop now needs a label?

• KingMachiavelli 7y ago
  From the original twitter blogpost: > we propose defining synthetic and manipulated media as any photo, audio, or video that has been significantly altered or fabricated in a way that intends to mislead people or changes its original meaning. 'meme' is pretty broad so if it's literally just a screenshot of a faked tweet then Yes it would fall under this rule based on the broad language they are using. BUT I think that's still a good thing as long has the label/warning is unobtrusive yet at the same time it needs to not be used on every meme/image since then it would loose it's effect. I'm very curious how they are going to differentiate between normal image mashups (memes, etc.) and false information alterations at least without human oversight. The blog post has a survey for feedback so I encourage everyone to leave some since this most likely impacts everyone at least indirectly.

    What if it’s a photo of a montage of collage or authentic images? It’s artistic manipulation but it’s not fakery. Maybe they’ll have s table with the hash of all verified images and anything not in there gets auto tagged as unverified/fake. I think it’s s losing proposition, but let’s see what comes of it. Of course the downside is this benefits incumbents and harms challengers.
