Ignore the fact that it’s coming from Breitbart. This is really freaky in more than one way.
FTA:
Against stiff competition, the alliance of tech and media giants has devised a plan that may constitute Big Tech’s most brazen power-grab yet.
According to Microsoft’s press release, it has partnered with several other organizations to form the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA).
Put simply, the purpose of this organization is to devise a system whereby all content on the internet can be traced back to its author.
The press release states that it will develop these specifications for “common asset types and formats,” meaning videos, documents, audio, and images.
Whether it’s a meme, an audio remix, or a written article, the goal is to ensure that when content reaches the internet, it will come attached with a set of signals allowing its provenance — meaning authorship — can be detected.
Unsure if you are being sarcastic. But the level of idiocy and self-absorbedness required to make that first post complaining about the source rather than what’s reported says a lot about the person: “hey, look, it’s not a source I like, therefore it’s invalid”.
Typical American narcissism.
I do not know anything about breitbart, but what I know is that there are certain sources that are just… untrustworthy. Just saying.
Then I invite you to read the text, and you be the judge, mate.
Hi. I’m speaking as an admin on the site.

Please don’t insult other people for this kind of thing. If you don’t think the view expressed is worthwhile, downvote and move on.
And what happens to the individual that came to my thread with the explicit intention of derailing it without any consideration? Let me guess? Nothing. As others have pointed out, the topic at hand is legitimate, but all the negative attention now is on me and the source. How ridiculous!
You sure are on your way to become Reddit with this double standard! Keep it up.
There is no double standard. Its simply that insulting other users is against the rules, but there is nothing that forbids criticising sources (which I wouldnt consider derailing).
Well, let’s agree to disagree on the “derailing” topic. As for insulting people, I just said his comment was dumb. I don’t see how that’s an insult. Even intelligent people say dumb stuff from time to time, nothing wrong with it, I do say dumb stuff as well.
This is not the kind of behaviour we like to see here. If you keep acting like this then you will be banned.
Feel free to ban me anytime. I will make sure not to come back after the fact, too. After today, I don’t see much of a difference between this place and Reddit when it comes to attitudes, anyway. At least Reddit has a huge user base, and you can engage more people. So if banning me helps anything, go ahead!
Cheers
Well, if you came here expecting it to be like Gab, it’s not, I’m sorry, this place still have rules.
Calm down FFS, kitsune. There is no way out if you fuel the conflict. It always ends up in a negative result.
You can’t force people to agree with your opinion man. I agree they shouldn’t dismiss an argument based on its source alone (unless they’re unable to think critically in which case that’s sad.) But mod is right. Downvote and disagree, but don’t insult. It hurts your arguments position. You’re trying to take shortcuts when you insult in trying to convince people of your position. It rarely works on the internet, not least because we’re in a world where your opinion is a minority one and the US government is actively trying to quell dissent and push a narrative.
