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.

“C2PA member organizations will work together to 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. These technical specifications will include defining what information is associated with each type of asset, how that information is presented and stored, and how evidence of tampering can be identified.”
Yes. (That wasn’t so hard for you to do, was it). And read further.
“Project Origin has its roots in the production and distribution of news. The effort has focused on tackling disinformation in the digital news ecosystem by attaching signals to a piece of content to demonstrate its integrity and making this information available to those using it. “
It’s monitoring reaction and comment - ie opinion it calls disinformation.
Use a quote (or perhaps less) from an article (fair use - no question there) to make a point. If they don’t like your opinion it can’t be shared or more likely is ghosted, cancelled.
Where tampering would be defined as usage in unapproved narratives.
I’m on Ubuntu 21.04 and have none of the issues you’ve described. I use Express VPN and Macrium Reflect daily.
Microsoft’s search engine is at the bottom of DuckDuckGo
Oh, I’m so much more comforted knowing Microsoft will be looking out for truth... Does that even need a sarcasm tag?
[[It’s now very easy for people to formulate and spread falsehoods,]]
Yeah, that pesky freedom of speech thingie- should put a stop to that right away!
Elected officials and law enforcement have given them complete control over the definition of truth. Two words started this process “hate crime”!
Good
Who in the hell made these morons the gods who determine what I can read and what I should not read?
I don’t do social media chats now but as soon as there is an alternative to the liberal censorship I will be there.
I agree. These high-tech media tyrants will not have the last word. The kettle is starting to bubble. They are not the arbiters of truth and the public will shove their money grubbing ambitions down their throats.
‘narrative enforcement’ is a perfect keyword for mandatory storytelling.
idiots!
Well this is good news, we won’t be hearing so much about this COVID hoax then, right? /s
People, we need to dump all these corporations as best we can, don’t patronize spend your dollars wisely
Microsoft was slow in joining the fascist mind control movement. Gates must have taken time off from his climate change preaching to focus on censorship of thoughts that the left condemns.
Booksellers, search engines, social media sites, photo sharing sites, ISPs, web hosting sites, credit card companies and banks all are participating in the great big online reeducation camp
