I'm just going to say, if you don't think this _isn't_ going to be massively abused - take a look at what the CCP, or any authoritarian regime does really, to silence dissent.
Don't have a good enough social credit because you shared an opinion somebody doesn't like one too many times? Intel and Microsoft will just remotely brick all your devices.
> Is there a privacy-respecting solution that you prefer?
Yeah, it's called being media literate, using my brain and being vigilant. I don't need Pat Gelsinger, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Shantanu Narayen, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey or any other power hungry jackass telling me what to think.
- dralley 6y agoThis is a no-win situation, really. All of those arguments can be made about deepfakes too.
- smt88 6y agoWhat if a journalist makes a video and wants everyone to know where it came from? If it's all opt-in (and otherwise anonymous), doesn't that solve the privacy issue? I'm definitely not advocating for the OP solution, which is why I asked if anyone knew of alternatives.
- malikNF 6y agoWont just post it from an official social media account belonging to that journalist fix this issue ? It starts off with opt in, then they do an update to now opt out, then then do an update to make it harder to opt-out and next thing we know this is something everyone has to live with.
- kortex 6y agoHow do we know evidence is valid in a court case? Chain of custody and documentation. Add to that some commitment scheme and trusted time-stamping and publish in real time and you are most of the way there to extremely veridical publishing. But the main problem is the people most vulnerable to fake media are already bamboozled by bad Photoshop jobs. I don't see how any signing scheme will help.
- rubyist5eva 6y agoThe Journalism Industry has solved the "trust" problem decades ago. This isn't the problem the CCPA is trying to solve.
- lrem 6y agoSo, how do you make uncle Bob media literate?
- rowanG077 6y agoSchooling, campaigns. A mandatory "driving" license for media consumption.
- lrem 6y agoAh, so a 50+ years campaign? Yup, that can work if you can have a government with enough attention span. Edit: don't get me wrong, _not_ doing that for children is evil. But, the results thus far do speak for themselves... And uncle Bob will not take being sent back to middle school all that well.
- rowanG077 6y agoNot a 50+ years campaign, an infinitely long campaign. You know just like normal schooling is an infinitely long compaign.
- rubyist5eva 6y agoLicensing people for reading a newspaper? That is insane.
- rowanG077 6y agoI would mandate that you would have to take it until you pass (Excluding extreme cases). But of course you cannot ban people from reading something.
- LegitShady 6y agoHonestly everything you say sounds like abusive insanity and not anywhere I'd want to live. I hope you don't make any decisions for other people in any capacity ever because you lack fundamental respect for other people's choices.
