The Scarcest Thing in the World
Chris Hedges&#x27; rhetoric of &quot;digital hallucinations&quot; now has a literal meaning.<p>I&#x27;m wondering how long it will be before a far-fetched, sophisticated false news story is planted with multiple videos of shaky and grainy &quot;cellphone&quot; footage that will lead to mass panic or war, Gulf War WMDs, Gulf of Tonkin, and Spanish-American wars notwithstanding.<p>EDIT: Perhaps we need a chain-of-custody trust framework for cameras with cryptographic-signatures incorporating device model, serial number, time, and location for authentication purposes.
