I’m imagining security cameras having to revert to magnetic tape recording.

    It’s like you guys think forgery is new & provenance/chain of custody doesn’t exist.

    rant about checking sources

    People here uncritically responding to screenshots lacking links to sources are part of the problem. They discourage linking to disfavored platforms as if that serves some moral cause when they’re making the problem worse. They’re training people not to verify & authenticate information by obstructing the most efficient check. So of course those that don’t check sources think we’re doomed when it’s incredibly simple to do.

    The importance of checking & citing references isn’t new & doesn’t change with technology. Establishing information integrity has always been necessary to argue truth.
