    In the Court of law you are correct

    In the court of public opinion… yeah we had better figure out how to quickly prove one from the other or a lot of people are going to have a very rough time

      Nah.

      Even if it were technically possible to conclude a video is “genuine” (whatever that means) the genuine public would not trust it. As in… vaccines method of action is too complex to understand, therefore facebook memes are a more reliable source of factual information.

      I’m hoping that fake video becomes so prevalent that absolutely everyone is forced to acknowledge that no video can be trusted as a source of factual information.
