@lupyuen This has major implications in law. Courts and lawmakers have already struggled and largely failed to address the unique problems and complexity involved in authentication of digital evidence.

The TLDR on that is that anyone who is accused of a crime or violation based on digital evidence should challenge its authenticity and contend that it is falsified.

We've known since Snowden's leaks that spies and cops are willing and able to plant and manufacture evidence.

Look at what was attempted with Sharyl Attkisson. Look at Russiagate and the fake claims made as to the Skripals by "private sector" spook-laundering outfits like Crowdstrike and Bellingcat.

@lupyuen I already don't believe in a significant portion of things, but I'm happy that we're now at the point that we're openly admitting that things like this are "finally" possible.

I do not believe things like this weren't already being used to harm innocent people.
