That hardware inputs can be faked is part of my reasoning here because there would be transparency of the source of footage.
If a reputable journalists fake their own footage and it would be found out their credibility would be gone.
If they often rely on borrowing footage and don't fact check it. Credibility will degrade as well.
Journalist media that does their work and only uses credible sources will thrive.
My solution isn't about who or how signature gets created but how ordinary people can check for themselves where a clip within footage originates from.
I am fine with inventing a new system that does this and call it something else than blockchain. But my understanding is that it does pretty much provide this functionality in a robust manner.
Also typing these comments on the go caused me to lose something dear to me on public transport. I am very sad now and probably wont engage further.
Again, you have to completely ignore that the core premise is evil intended to give big players even stronger monopoly control. It's anti-free in every sense, and as an added bonus, would very certainly make possession of specific hardware sufficient to be executed in some countries, because everything it has ever captured would be tracked to it.
But if you do that, there is already a system that does exactly what you're asking. You don't need to invent anything. It's certificate authorities.
I'm not actually trying to be an asshole, though I'm sure I'm coming off as one. But the only thing blockchain actually does is validate transactions. It's a shared ledger.
Sure i’ll have a look at decentralized certificate authorities options.
Very possibles to adapt my idea to whatever technology provides those function honestly.
The only actual connection i have with blockchain is that reading about it when it was new directly inspired in me a possible way to combat fake news.
