It's a real issue ahead of us. I rather like David Brin's solution in Existence, where any online feed passes through algorithms to determine authenticity. Due to 1) deepfake photo, audio, and video, and 2) security breaches that compromise publishing keys, it will require "triangulation" of multiple trust systems to determine if a source is real, even for live broadcasting. That's why I dislike the privacy laws currently being implemented. We need everyone recording everywhere, because that's the only way we'll be able to verify that the apparent cellphone recording made at 34th and Georgetown Avenue at 1:14pm on Tuesday in Los Angeles is authentic, by matching perspectives and timecodes for events from multiple people with multiple devices not under the same authority.
