Gr. It's not the technology that pisses me off. It's people forgetting the fundamental rule that everything on the internet is fake until definitively proven otherwise.

Even after proven, nothing digital should ever rise to 100% trust. Under any circumstances whatsoever. 99% is fine. 100% is never.

Hell, even real life inputs from your eyes don't get 100% trust. People are well aware their eyes can play tricks. But somehow go digital and people start trusting, even though digital is easier to corrupt than irl information in every possible way.
