Underestimating the mind-warping potential of fake video

I like it. Maybe a system similar to certificates used in https. So trusted partners signing photos and videos, maybe news agencies. The partners will be careful because there existence depends on this trust system.

We will still have un-trusted photos and videos, but they can be recognized as such. Maybe browsers can add a small default 'logo' to an image or video, like the green lock now next to urls.

Th3 partners will be careful to not make waves. This does not mean they'll report the truth.

How does their existence depend on the trust system? All they have to do is sign videos. They can sign fake videos just as well as real ones.

Yes but then there will be an auditable trail of signatures that would allow someone to tell who originally approved of the fake content.
