    Watermarks are not a solution, there will 100% be tech to remove them. Likewise it will mean foreign state actors will make them with zero watermarks in the first place and people will assume it’s real because ‘no watermark’.

      I guess watermark with metadata embedded so that governments and platforms can track the source?

      I’m sure more tech literate people can come up with something rather than just doing absolutely nothing.

        The only mathematically correct way to do that is to have cryptographic metadata signing a photo from a hardware device like a camera declaring that it’s real, not metadata declaring content to be generated.

        In practice though, I don’t think it’s feasible.

        And more tech literate people can defeat it or simply never implement it in the first place.

        The solution isn’t technology, it’s learning to not believe everything you see online, on tv, or printed in a paper.
