To add to this, even if someone knows a video is fake, if it’s realistic enough then the image will persist.
But perhaps the most damaging aspect of all this is the erosion of truth, in people’s general feeling that nothing can be trusted.

- Nasrudith 7y agoNo. Adding cryptography to video recordings is the worst of both Canudos. It can verify sources but not the literal truth. All that would do is half-mirror society where any ole bullshit signed by the credible is accepted while man on the street police brutality or politicians making out with a 12 year old are called fake.
