Together with a few other tech and media corporations, Microsoft has formed a coalition focused on fighting “disinformation” and fake news. The other founding members of the coalition are Truepic, Intel, BBC, Adobe, and Arm.
Disinformation and fake news have become prevalent buzzwords to create a justification to censor in this digital age. It’s now very easy for people to formulate and spread falsehoods, according to the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity.
“There’s a critical need to address widespread deception in online content — now supercharged by advances in AI and graphics and diffused rapidly via the internet. Our imperative as researchers and technologists is to create and refine technical and sociotechnical approaches to this grand challenge of our time. We’re excited about methods for certifying the origin and provenance of online content. It’s an honor to work alongside Adobe, BBC and other C2PA members to take this critical work to the next step,” Microsoft wrote in a blog post announcing the coalition.
According to Microsoft, the C2PA will “develop content provenance specifications for common asset types and formats to enable publishers, creators and consumers to trace the origin and evolution of a piece of media, including images, videos, audio and documents.”
Former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates has been a big supporter of modern moves to censor more on social media.

They constantly misuse the word “misinformation”. But they don’t really care because it isn’t about information at all, but rather what Orwell would call a “thoughtcrime”.
Heh, one must pass a 1984 test before even being considered for Google/Facebook, and the lowest of them all, Twitter.
This is an attack on Duck Duck Go.
“Disinformation” is any information that undermines the official narrative.
This has nothing to do with censorship.
This initiative is to provide publishers with the means to ensure their product is traceable and any alteration can be detected.
bttt
Techno totalitarianism.
Microsoft is a little late to the table.
But it’s easy because all these companies developed it for China over the last couple decades.
Libtard socialist orwellian memory hole coalition
hilarious the Beeb is in on it.
straight out censorship.
only FakeNewsMSM allowed.
Orwellian.
Truth and conservative opinion are each disinformation. Progressive opinion is legitimate information. Got it?
Dissenters now == fake news
These people have no authority to determine fake news or disinformation
They are not the arbiters of truth
“This initiative is to provide publishers with the means to ensure their product is traceable and any alteration can be detected.”
Provide the quotes or documentation for this. The quotes in this excerpt sure did not say that.
For the Right, you are right.
That doesn’t address the Left, who are all in.
If you look at the large areas of the planet that were in
the book, you see similarities there also.
Europe, the Americas, others too I believe.
It’s uncanny how that book is becoming reality.
Course no one has read it from this generation.
Communist Thought Police Have Joined The Communist Purge & Nothing Is Being Done About Any Of It!
For Twitter, “failing” a drug test is passing it.
Microdose acid, then ban conservatives.
Go home and boot a little heroin.
Wake up with an eight ball, repeat.
This is nothing new.
Oligarchs used to have a “company paper” in their realms.
It said what the local oligarch wanted said, and nothing else.
