Obama Pushes for Digital Fingerprints By Chris Knight (Florida)
Are you keeping track? At this date, all of the major globalist organisations, such as the World Economic Forum, UN, World Health Organization, IMF, and EU, are moving to adopt the full globalist digital agenda, from Central Bank digital currencies, to internet surveillance and control. Not to miss out, Obama, who some say is ruling the Biden White House, wants digital fingerprints to control photos and videos. Presumably, like physical banknotes, there will be some sort of “watermark,” that identifies the real thing. That assumes that the marks cannot be faked, and my bet is that in this new techno-arms race, anything put up as uncrackable, will in time be cracked like an egg.
“Barack Obama, who was instrumental in fueling the media’s “misinformation” narrative before he left office, has a new buzzword — “digital fingerprints.”
The former Democrat president wants the origin of digital information such as photos and videos to be clearly traced, to fight the spread of deepfakes.
That technology’s here now,” said Obama in a discussion with his former advisor David Axelrod on the latter’s CNN podcast. “So, most immediately we’re going to have all the problems we had with misinformation before, [but] this next election cycle will be worse.”
“And the need for us, for the general public, I think to be more discriminating consumers of news and information, the need for us to over time develop technologies to create watermarks or digital fingerprints so we know what is true and what is not true.”
The idea of fighting “misinformation” by tracing the origin of digital info is not new. A coalition of tech and media companies led by Microsoft is already trying to make this technology the industry standard, as is a coalition with similar goals led by Adobe.
Before he left office, President Obama helped spark the media panic over “fake news” — later rebranded as “misinformation” — that was adopted by the media, NGOs, and tech companies as a pretext to suppress conservative content.
Hours before election day 2016, the Democrat president was giving interviews to the media about the dangers of “fake news,” and in the weeks following the election of Donald Trump, used public appearances to talk about the problem of “misinformation.”
Prior to this, the topic was not discussed widely in the media. Afterwards, it was everywhere. And by 2020, it was a key part of the media and tech industry’s efforts to interfere in the election.”
