That is the same logical fallacy as "we can solve deepfakes with blockchain in cameras!". Authenicating the source is not synonymous with validating the truth of the content.

David Icke goes by his real name and he pushes insand bullshit. I don't know why people think real identity is a sign of truth when liars have been making careers doing so for millenia.

I apologize.

Authenticity != truthiness. They are orthogonal.

How do I rephrase my points to make this crystal clear?
