Would not surprise me if 10-years from now mainstream consumer devices and platforms attempt to make it impossible to produce content that’s not able to authenticate the provenance of media.
Adobe, Arm, Intel, Microsoft, Twitter, BBC, and others appear to be working to make this a reality via the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA):

- enriquto 4y agoHow would it work in practice? How could they forbid me to edit an "authenticated" image (which is still just an array of numbers) on gimp, and publish the modified image as raw data? Wouldn't I be then "producing content" whose provenance is not authenticated? As long as I have a functional C compiler that can read the files on my computer, I don't see how this C2PA thing can be effective at all.

- jitl 4y agoYou can publish such an image, but you won’t be able to attest “this image came from my camera and is unedited”. It’ll be unsigned, so marked as “possibly edited” the way HTTP websites are marked by modern browsers as “possibly insecure”. The whole point is provenance chain - not to prevent any editing whatsoever or establish “DRM” that forbids the use of all images from a camera or something.
