Pretty crazy there’s no PKI in place to verify photos, videos, or text. We just need apps to verify signatures and tell users about the origin. Memes can remain unsigned, but veritable information should always be traceable to a source.
E.g. I’m more inclined to believe a video sourced by AP (sent to me by whomever) than one posted by the white house twitter without signature.

That’s a really good and reasonable idea, which is why I’m absolutely sure it will never happen 😢
