Obama Stresses ‘Need' For ‘Digital Fingerprints' To Crack Down On Information That ‘Is Not True'
2023-06-18
[Daily Caller] Former President Barack Obama called for "digital fingerprints" to crack down on information which "is not true," during a Thursday podcast interview with a former advisor.

"The need for us, for the general public, I think to be more discriminating consumers of news and information, the need for us to over time develop technologies to create watermarks or digital fingerprints so we know what is true and what is not true," Obama told David Axelrod, a former Obama advisor who is now a CNN contributor, Fox News reported. "There’s a whole bunch of work that’s going to have to be done there, but in the short term, it’s really going to be up to the American people to kind of say."

#6  There's a reason for a free press, and this isn't it.

How's about we let everyone be educated and then let them make up their own minds?

Heresy I know.

#4  I agree with the need for this, but suspect Obama wants to abuse it as such signatures would be invisible and allow them to arrest anyone an claim the spy-ops was that persons responsibility.

I mean you release a deep fake that hurts the Dems you'll be rolled up in hours like that guy who spread the wrestling meme. You hurt the Republicans and they'll investigate later, in a decade or so. So as is favors the corrupt state.

Just look no further than how Stalin, Mao, Xi, Hitler, various Socialist/Dictator used new-media and social media puppets to ID and then eliminate millions of political rivals.
