Ignore the fact that it’s coming from Breitbart. This is really freaky in more than one way.

Against stiff competition, the alliance of tech and media giants has devised a plan that may constitute Big Tech’s most brazen power-grab yet.
According to Microsoft’s press release, it has partnered with several other organizations to form the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA).
Put simply, the purpose of this organization is to devise a system whereby all content on the internet can be traced back to its author.
The press release states that it will develop these specifications for “common asset types and formats,” meaning videos, documents, audio, and images.
Whether it’s a meme, an audio remix, or a written article, the goal is to ensure that when content reaches the internet, it will come attached with a set of signals allowing its provenance — meaning authorship — can be detected.
You can’t force people to agree with your opinion man. I agree they shouldn’t dismiss an argument based on its source alone (unless they’re unable to think critically in which case that’s sad.) But mod is right. Downvote and disagree, but don’t insult. It hurts your arguments position. You’re trying to take shortcuts when you insult in trying to convince people of your position. It rarely works on the internet, not least because we’re in a world where your opinion is a minority one and the US government is actively trying to quell dissent and push a narrative.
