If you trust how the bbc tells the story, you also trust them when they say the image is true. Not a technical problem IMO.

- chpatrick 3y agoSure but then the image gets copied shared reposted etc. If the images had cryptographic provenance included, sites like Reddit or Twitter could verify and display that, or lack thereof. I would use the same infrastructure as HTTPS, so an image could be signed by bbc.co.uk. That way if you trust that domain you could trust the document, wherever you come across it.
- mejutoco 3y agoBut why? If it is on bbc s website bbc is already saying it is good. Same for any other media. The technical approach is interesting but not needed IMO in this case.
- chpatrick 3y agoLike I said, because you might come across the image on Reddit or Twitter but have no idea if it's real or not.
