I think this is trying to combat a phenomenon that isn't based on logic with something that is - I doubt it will work. Fake news is such a powerful tool because it plays into people's biases and reinforces their beliefs. I doubt the sort of person who would believe in conspiracies will take the time to understand what digital fingerprinting is.

Tech for faking video is getting more powerful day by day.
