  • isn’t the entire concept just trying to side step journalism though? The block chain is just replacing journalistic standards for something that is more easily corrupted with no guarantee of a better outcome.

    And often in tricky journalism such as exposés, you don’t want your source to be trackable. That’s why Robert Maxwell was such a piece of shit as a newspaper journalist, he would shop his sources to Mossad.


  • to be more clear: block chain for images is a solution in search of a problem because no one is looking for mass-verified images, they are looking for source-verified images, because you can still fake something on the block chain at point of creation. In 2025 the main concern about faked images is with AI, but more sophisticated and more convincing images can be made with older, even analog technology like airbrushing.

    Your example of a sped up Democrat could still be disseminated on the block chain and it would do nothing to confirm or deny its veracity.
