I agree with your suggested approach but is it really realistic?
A non insignificant portion of the USA/World still sees doctored photographs in tabloids and takes them as fact. It feels easy to write them all off but that is a lot of people. Take the average intelligence. Half of the people in the world are less intelligence than that.
So is it really realistic to train everyone on the areas you mentioned?

- aerostable_slug 6y agoI'd also suggest sufficient damage could be done before any reasonable corrections could be made, specifically if the faked individual "said" or "did" things that meet people's preconceptions about the individual. I could imagine fake footage that would cause market impacts, riots, etc. before anyone could get in front of it, and even after official corrections come from Upon High many would believe the explanations themselves are the lies (not the faked footage). This would not be assisted by media organizations saying "allegedly", "can't confirm", and of course the words of anonymous sources that totally would never lie, right?
