much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
a clearly biased story from a clearly biased site. be careful out there, people.
Feels like the old days of reddit and imgur when sketchy news sites were commonly posted
yup. one of the things that I would gladly have left behind on reddit. but oh well. keep your guard up and your wits about you.
Are you thinking the quotes are not correctly attributed?
no clue on the quotes.
as I stated in a different thread, the issue with the article is its low-information with a lot of nebulous "scary" words and obvious political biases. the parent site is even worse (imho).
take from the article what you will, but it offers no attempt at clarification and is instead basically a very poor opinion piece masquerading as news.
thats my take. yours may be different.
Don't we already have that in the form of PKI? (Think TLS certificates, PGP/GPG keys, SSH keys, et al)
If someone's posts, articles, videos, interview recordings, etc. were signed with the author's private key, then we could all verify it with their public key.
Of course, there's a technical barrier to overcome but I imagine it would be the same with whatever Obama's proposing here.
hash content + timestamp and sign the resulting hash.

'Member when former presidents just faded away and lived out their days at their retirement estates?
I miss those days.
In all seriousness, the only thing that would be accomplished here is to track American citizens. Obama/Clinton's message was clear: Russia was the source of all the fake news.
Obama could shut up.
