    Appreciating your points, it’s true that while the camera wouldn’t be foolproof, the nft can still significantly augment the traceability of media. When official channels and news is encouraged to source footage from there then certified uploaders would add a layer of trust, and legal reuse could be monitored effectively with a clickable badge/mark It’s not without its vulnerabilities, but it’s a step towards a more accountable media landscape. And makes it easier for people to dismiss random propaganda imagery shared online.

      Does it? People misunderstood SSL so badly thr browsers started hiding the lock icon and actual details of the certs.

      But your idea still comes down to who you trust. If you trust the NYT then you’re going to go to their site they already control to see their images. If you aren’t sourcing the images from random third parties then this does nothing. And if you’re already trusting random Facebook pages, they can also NFT their posts.

      You seem to think no one can certify upload accounts now? But of course they do already.
