Any problem that requires cryptographic attestation or technical control of all endpoints is not a solution we should be pursuing. Think of it as a tainted primitive. Not to be implemented.

The problem of Trust is a human problem, and throwing technology at it just makes it worse.

I'm absolutely in agreement with that. The appetite for technical solutions to social problems seems utterly endless.

This particular idea has so many glaring problems that one might almost wonder if the motivation is less about "preventing misinformation" or "protecting democracy" or "thinking of the children" or whatever, and more about making it easier to prove you took the photo as you sue someone for using it without permission. But any technology promoted by Adobe couldn't be about DRM, so that's just crazy talk!
