Worse to have prolific deep fakes or only government approved videos of the president? Both options seem equally bad

Sharing subjective realities objectively is better than no way to verify subjective claims to reality imo

What if the govt sanctioned & 'cryptographically verified' videos are themselves manipulated or deepfakes? I'm glad the govt sees crypto can be used for more than money laundering but skeptical this will achieve the desired outcome

That seems a lot less likely since the government needs a lot more bureaucracy than the average person who can make deepfakes

The people who are into conspiracy theories (what this "crypto verified" system is supposedly addressing) are gonna believe 9/11 was an inside job but the govt can't fake a video?

They "can". They are simply less likely to do so than the average rando conspiracy dude who makes deepfakes. It's still a better solution than no verification.

I wouldn't mind if it was at least somewhat decentralized; let a bunch of news networks (preferably from opposing camps) review the footage before it's verified. If the govt just declares what's real and what isn't we can end up in a very dystopian place. Not first time a govt altered media
