Microsoft and Friends Want to Destroy Online Privacy
Microsoft and Friends Want to Destroy Online Privacy
Microsoft has teamed up with a number of tech and media companies to create a system of tracing content around the internet that could destroy online privacy and anonymity, radically transforming the nature of the web.
Ignore the fact that it's coming from Breitbart. This is really freaky in more than one way.

Against stiff competition, the alliance of tech and media giants has devised a plan that may constitute Big Tech’s most brazen power-grab yet.
According to Microsoft’s press release, it has partnered with several other organizations to form the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA).
Put simply, the purpose of this organization is to devise a system whereby all content on the internet can be traced back to its author.
The press release states that it will develop these specifications for “common asset types and formats,” meaning videos, documents, audio, and images.
Whether it’s a meme, an audio remix, or a written article, the goal is to ensure that when content reaches the internet, it will come attached with a set of signals allowing its provenance — meaning authorship — can be detected.
Ignore the fact that it's coming from Breitbart..
No, I don't think I will. I don't want to give them clicks.
Breitbart may be a shitty source of news, but I like how the top comment derailed the discussion on the topic at hand. Using Breitbart as a source may not be a good look, but the top comment is objectively worse and a redditor attitude leaking into Lemmy.
Caution to mods.
I'm sorry but I really can't give much credence to Breitbart as a source. If it's true it is concerning indeed.
A broken clock can be right twice a day. Consider that even wolves may not eat a lone sheep someday. Breitbart can put out useful information once in a blue moon.
Agree 100%. But no, all of a sudden "breitbarddd badddd, oranje mannn baddd" lmao and the topic at hand can go to hell in a privacy oriented sub of all places!
I suggest you refute people's arguments and points in a more simple and bold manner. Show some dominance if you have good points to make. It is really easy.
