A tech solution of a watermark or digital fingerprint by the big megacorps would be easily thwarted by using free and open software and staying off their closed source platforms.

Consequently, most everything that comes out of Obama&#8217;s mouth is misinformation as a long time front man for the globalist elite, and one could argue that his whole persona is a deepfake. But as a long time asset, what he tries to peddle to his followers is a glimpse into what they have in store for the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2023\/06\/19\/barack-obama-pushes-digital-fingerprints-to-fight-misinformation\/\">https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2023\/06\/19\/barack-obama-pushes-digital-fingerprints-to-fight-misinformation\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub_divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_36114353-4f0d-4174-8d90-ba2ba02dfad4\"><div class=\"ub_divider_wrapper\" style=\"position: relative; margin-bottom: 2px; width: 100%; height: 2px; \" data-divider-alignment=\"center\"><div class=\"ub_divider_line\" style=\"border-top: 2px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; \"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>By Allum Bokhari<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-24.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-24.png 640w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-24-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Barack Obama, who was instrumental in fueling the media\u2019s \u201cmisinformation\u201d narrative before he left office, has a new buzzword \u2014 \u201cdigital fingerprints.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former Democrat president wants the origin of digital information such as photos and videos to be clearly traced, to fight the spread of deepfakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat technology\u2019s here now,\u201d said Obama in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/audio\/podcasts\/axe-files\/episodes\/d1da1b16-d9a5-4b91-8397-b021016e0494\">discussion<\/a> with his former advisor David Axelrod on the latter\u2019s CNN podcast. \u201cSo, most immediately we\u2019re going to have all the problems we had with misinformation before, [but] this next election cycle will be worse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u201dAnd the need for us, for the general public, I think to be more discriminating consumers of news and information, the need for us to over time develop technologies to create watermarks or digital fingerprints so we know what is true and what is not true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of fighting \u201cmisinformation\u201d by tracing the origin of digital info is not new. A coalition of tech and media companies led by Microsoft is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2021\/02\/25\/bokhari-microsoft-and-friends-want-to-destroy-online-privacy\/\">already trying to make this technology the industry standard<\/a>, as is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2023\/05\/31\/ministry-of-truth-nikon-and-leica-are-adding-adobe-nyt-misinformation-tech-to-cameras\/\">coalition with similar goals led by Adobe.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before he left office, President Obama helped spark the media panic over \u201cfake news\u201d \u2014 later rebranded as \u201cmisinformation\u201d \u2014 that was adopted by the media, NGOs, and tech companies as a pretext to suppress conservative content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hours before election day 2016, the Democrat president was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/the-media\/2016\/12\/20\/how-buzzfeed-editor-craig-silverman-helped-generate-the-fake-news-crisis\/\">giving interviews to the media about the dangers of \u201cfake news,\u201d<\/a> and in the weeks following the election of Donald Trump, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/media\/2016\/nov\/17\/barack-obama-fake-news-facebook-social-media\">used public appearances to talk about the problem of \u201cmisinformation.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to this, the topic was not discussed widely in the media.
