Eventually people will start publishing photographs with a certifying watermark that the image has not been manipulated.
And then the certifying watermark will be forged.
In certain industries image is everything (politics, celebrity, the Arts, the covers of womens' magazines) and when something is 'everything', anything goes.
Tammly - maybe we should keep watch for new images of the Macrons.
DJ - yes, a watermark would be rather like a fact-checker in that there is no guarantee of authenticity. When we lost our grip on veracity we lost everything.
