    Great, DRM on my personal photos. Next they’re going to charge a subscription to view my own goddamn vacation pictures

    Fuck this timeline. I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.

    I guess this is better than nothing, but what happens if you take a photo of a generated photo? There are setups where the result will be impossible to tell that it’s a photo of a photo, and then you can have the camera digitally sign the fake photo as real.

      Consoles (Xbox, Nintendo, PlayStation) are all hacked eventually. All that will happen is someone will hack a camera to sign any image sent to it.

      I think this tech (signed pictures) is just going to make the problem worse. Once a camera is hacked, it’s “signed” but fake… Same spot we are now but now we have fake verified pictures

        And consoles are a walled garden, here you would have to build a resilient trust network for all camera manufacturers, any private key gets leaked and the system is compromised.

      It’s not just a sig on the image, but on metadata as well. Harder to fake time + place if they implement it thoroughly. (I.e., they would have to make it only trust GPS and verify against an internal clock, I suppose, and not allow updating time and location manually.)

      …including the date and time a photo was taken as well as its location and the photographer…

        Not including gps and time makes this worse, but including it makes it useless because you can’t ever verify a photo sent across social media, since the exit tags will be stripped.
