Or famous people can maintain authoritative lists of things they have done and said. Something as simple as Imdb can do much in debunking fakery.

- trashtester 3y agoIn principle, any digital artifact may be digitally signed, just like web pages are (using CA's). That way, you can set up a chain of trust, to track where some information is coming from. This works as long as there is at least a top level signature provider that is uncorrupted. That will be hard in authoritarian societies and maybe even harder in radically polarized societies. Imagine a world where the CPP, DNC and GOP (and others) each controlled their own CA's, and had the ability to present a fake view of reality to their supporters.
- dylan604 3y agoThere’s information about me on IMDb that isn’t accurate. Not once ever have I added information about me on IMDb, so where exactly is this authoritative information on IMDb coming from? Requests by me to have information corrected goes no where. IMDb as an authoritative source is pure folly at best
- sandworm101 3y agoSomething as simple as IMBD, not literally IMDB. It is possible for famous people to maintain curated lists of their official work. Presidents especially do this, eventually putting it all into presidential libraries. Or it isn't possible to verify any information online because [reasons] and then our entire society falls apart as nothing online can ever be trusted. We aren't anywhere near that point.
