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

FTA:

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.

    Honestly is it not possible to find a single other source than Breitbart? If this is fact important one wouldn’t need to read a Breitbart post.

      Dumb comment is dumb.

      EDIT: please stay on topic, as the rules for this sub encourage it: Try to keep things on topic

          Unsure if you are being sarcastic. But the level of idiocy and self-absorbedness required to make that first post complaining about the source rather than what’s reported says a lot about the person: “hey, look, it’s not a source I like, therefore it’s invalid”.

          Typical American narcissism.

              And what happens to the individual that came to my thread with the explicit intention of derailing it without any consideration? Let me guess? Nothing. As others have pointed out, the topic at hand is legitimate, but all the negative attention now is on me and the source. How ridiculous!

              You sure are on your way to become Reddit with this double standard! Keep it up.

                There is no double standard. Its simply that insulting other users is against the rules, but there is nothing that forbids criticising sources (which I wouldnt consider derailing).

                  Well, let’s agree to disagree on the “derailing” topic. As for insulting people, I just said his comment was dumb. I don’t see how that’s an insult. Even intelligent people say dumb stuff from time to time, nothing wrong with it, I do say dumb stuff as well.

        Even Wikipedia blocks Breitbart links by default… It’s pretty ridiculous to just say I only want sources that agree with me or whatever. I’m asking any other source, whatever from L’humanité to The New York Times through the Wall Street Journal I don’t care. Anything that has a bit more credence is appreciated.

        Honestly after the slur filter the admin made that I disagreed with, though I completely understand why they did it, maybe it’s time to block certain site (from malicious spam filled shit to even a couple of news media, Breitbart, Daily Mail or Fdesouche seem like a pretty good start IMHO. After all this is floss so one can go share Breitbart on another server.

          I agree with you, the Lemmy devs should block BBC web addresses for spreading misinformation about China and the list goes on.

    Breitbart may be a shitty source of news, but I like how the top comment derailed the discussion on the topic at hand. Using Breitbart as a source may not be a good look, but the top comment is objectively worse and a redditor attitude leaking into Lemmy.

    Caution to mods.

      I’m sorry but I really can’t give much credence to Breitbart as a source. If it’s true it is concerning indeed.

        A broken clock can be right twice a day. Consider that even wolves may not eat a lone sheep someday. Breitbart can put out useful information once in a blue moon.

      Agree 100%. But no, all of a sudden “breitbarddd badddd, oranje mannn baddd” lmao and the topic at hand can go to hell in a privacy oriented sub of all places!

        I suggest you refute people’s arguments and points in a more simple and bold manner. Show some dominance if you have good points to make. It is really easy.

          It’s just clown world manifesting itself here. Don’t think too much of it.

          Some people deserve mockery and derision, and I’m happy to provide it. Heck, even I deserve it from time to time and I have no issue taking it when that’s the case.

    According to Microsoft, the coalition was created for a single purpose: to stop the spread of “disinformation” — which, in modern establishment journo-speak, means information that challenges establishment narratives. Disinformation, based on how the word is used today, might as well be called dissident information.

    I totally agree with this and I think that since we are in a financial Neofeudalism it was foreseeable that dissent would be labeled in some way, all regimes have done so. This time it all becomes “right-wing extremism” or “fake news” or both.

    Let’s be honest, if it were really about fighting lawlessness, online bullying and dangerous fake news, neither the media, nor governments, nor corporations would have lifted a finger.

    I would rather we not link to them. Look at the other articles. Look at the ads’ revenue that can fund all the usual BS. Once in blue moon is not good enough for me or it needs to be some great reporting. I don’t think this qualifies but clearly some people disagree. Oh well.
