No, but these people will participate on social sites which run software to do all that for you, so they get to see a little 'Authentic!' badge on their monkey picture, and everyone else sees it too. They will also try desperately to get everyone else to use these sites, so they will have people around to be impressed by their Authentic! monkey picture. I suppose in the worst-of-all-possible-futures, Twitter and Facebook adopt this scheme and verify your monkey pictures for your adoring fans too. What I can't understand is why anyone with a soul thinks this is a world we should move toward.
