disobey.net is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.

curious about the possibility of a modification to software like whereby cryptographically validated photos and videos posted to Mastodon clearly indicate passing validation

Digital Content Provenance Virtual Event

"On January 26, 2022, the Coalition on Content Provenance and Authenticity hosted the “Digital Content Provenance: Possibilities & Opportunities for the Future of the Internet in the and Era” event. Policymakers, academics and industry leaders discussed the future of responsible digital media creation, publication, and sharing and provided a presentation and demonstration of the C2PA’s new technical specification."

alright so i've spun up "c2pa.camera" (c2pa.camera) in order to document which cameras support this important security and authenticity feature

c2pa.cameraC2PA Camera Support

I wonder if there are any US federal grants available that would fund the open source development of authentication mechanisms getting built into social media platforms like and

I wonder if, as we scroll through our feeds, our fedi servers could authenticate C2PA media and present validation metadata to the end user to thwart

the cryptography at play would need to account for potential, malicious modifications getting made to server code, or maybe both servers, the source server and the user's server could corroborate the validation, or maybe multiple independent servers could serve as a distributed validation system

apparently OpenAI is already embedding C2PA metadata into DALL-E generated images, which would even make clear to the users when and where OpenAI generated media is from help.openai.com/en/articles/89

this would be a huge benefit to in the
