In case it wasn't clear, I am not suggesting ALL data must be signed/attributed.

Entertainment, for example, can be safely consumed and have little impact on your day to day regardless of the source. Provided it's clearly meant for entertainment purposes.

However once you introduce some dependency of trust into your process (monetary transactions, health related data exchange, etc), I believe most people in this crowd would agree that they want crypto identity and attribution applied to the data at every stage of transformation.

And then there's everything in the middle... which again, I think should be left to the individual. Norms would eventually develop that would guide best practices.

Pipe dream stuff I know, but I don't see another way out. Open to other suggestions. And especially open to criticism about this approach. I don't want to be the one with the answer.

I just want an answer.

I didn't mean to imply "must," just that anonymous data can't be trusted unless there is some out of band way to verify it.

My comment was really a response to the downvotes more than you. I'm not downplaying that the tech involved with OP. It just doesn't appear to solve the problem it's targeting.
