I strongly disagree. There is a huge difference between "photos can theoretically be faked, we need to consult an expert" and "everyone I know is using meme generators to post pictures of themselves in historical events, nothing is believable" in terms of societal trust.

I disagree with your disagreement. Pandora’s box has been opened a while ago. There is nothing we, as a society, can do to reverse that.

Either you waste time discussing how that’s a bad thing, or accept the premise that pictures aren’t inherently trustworthy ways to convey information anymore, period.
