Adobe Releases Tool, Developed With the BBC, To Combat “Misinformation” in Images

by Didi Rankovic, Reclaim The Net:

The rise of the meme stamp.

The “granddaddy of all that can be made visually astonishing fake” – i.e., the Photoshop developer and owner Adobe – has officially joined the battle against, no less, than images that convey “misinformation.”

But wouldn’t that be pretty much every image, ever edited with Photoshop – that sadly omnipresent proprietary photo editor? Yet things are not exactly, and are they ever, as clear-cut and reasonable as they may seem at first.

So – did Adobe – of all “people” have to jump on this particular bandwagon? Sure it did, because it’s not of the people – it’s of corporations.
