> Where would that even apply? That sounds like it could be useful in legal and policing contexts. One complaint I’ve often heard about body cameras in policing is the possibility of footage that was created and did indeed exist being “lost”, with the implication being that legal entities intentionally destroyed evidence of either the footage existing, or its contents. To the extent that this centralized authority issue applies to textual data or metadata, decentralized records of messaging times and contents would potentially be an invaluable tool of transparency and promoting systemic confidence in a visible shared audit trail.
