      Everyone, go read this piece by @henryfarrell and @rickperlstein on how fake video technologies interact with media business models—and the tornado about to hit our politics (yes, much more than now). This is important. It's here. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/04/opinion/hacking-politics-future.html …pic.twitter.com/Xb6QWc8i2D

      This is an inflection point. We need new method of authentication that do not yet exist. If you met me in the last few years, you know I've been begging technologists in the anti-censorship space to work on this—not just circumvention. Verification is the new anti-censorship.

      The two technologies are closely related. But it won't help--there's plenty of older porn videos out there that aren't protected; the scammers can just use one of those.

      I'm not arguing we can stop production of fakery (that ship has long failed) but we can switch to a new model of authentication filter. I've a bunch of ideas how it *could* work! It would be a technical stamp merged with distribution channels plus a new understanding/literacy.

          It's just this year that I've been able to go to technologists and convince some that verification is a necesssary anti-censorship tool. Been trying for years to get them to even think about it from this framework. Longer conversation here!

          What would this look like for media activists or citizen journalists? Say I go to an event, I shoot a video or take pics, I'm not Reuters though, nor credentialled with an org. Then what?

          How do you get around the issues of (A) broadcasters would need to run the filter/s or (B) the filter/s would need to exist in all cable boxes or televisions sets and all consumers would need the latest hardware?

          "a new understanding/literacy" - this is the hard part. Laypeople don't understand SSL, so browsers now throw up scary security warnings to protect people. You'd need to intercept people's attention the same way for something like this to be effective.

          Proactive approach certainly makes sense. Could tools like @truepicinc and #ProofMode be part of a way foward, at least for visual media?https://library.witness.org/product/proofmode/ …
