- The @truepic.bsky.social one resolves a 404 error.

That's incredible! Not only Linkedin is almost 100% AI slop, but it's certified, thanks to the #C2PA ministry of slop!
Sadly @LinkedIn is not on the C2PA Conforming Products List, and it still happily strip the "Content Credentials" from the video stream.

The @adobe.com @contentauth.bsky.social has launched a new ad campaign targeting artists for the #C2PA "Adobe Content Authenticity" abandonware. With a 30 min(!) weird merchandising "podcast" and the usual Instagram vertical reel.
As always, the "durable attribution" is one click away of deletion.

Who could’ve guessed? The #C2PA "solution" pushed by the AI industry to calm regulators over AI risks is ineffective.
The fact that the article itself is sponsored by an AI company only makes matters worse.

Do you remember when implementations of the #C2PA standard were both secure and interoperable?
None of the Tailly “Slop” Norwood images, regurgitated straight from the GPU pipelines of Black Forest Labs "Flux" and Runway ML (Google, Nvidia, Salesforce) have valid C2PA provenance labels.

Oops, turns out the code "is" online.
And I was spot‑on about the watermark: it’s literally commented as “FFmpeg command with advanced watermark settings” 😂

The BBC calls its C2PA "stamping tool" open source, yet no repo exists.
From what I saw at IBC, it looked like nothing more than FFmpeg drawtext (v0.6, 2010) for watermarking, wrapped with Adobe’s c2patool and its WASM C2PA decoder.
There was no demo with the Sony Camera, probably not compatible.

The #C2PA Watermarking Task Force (WTF) claims to have launched “the most robust and accessible content verification system ever deployed in a developing nation.”
- The watermark is removable with a single click.
- Desktop only, in a country where 80% of internet access happens on mobile.

Yes, BBC is an "official" steering member but with no decision power. Project Origin now sits under IPTC, likely funded so Google and Adobe can push their own 'standards.' Meanwhile, #C2PA is "managed" by @linuxfoundation.org , giving Adobe cover to opensource‑wash its own code and specifications.

And there you have it, #C2PA certified crash!
Yet it wasn’t difficult: record the video at the set time and sign it with the good old @adobe.com @contentauth.bsky.social #C2PA software.
Adaptive streams? Nowhere to be found.
Metadata? Dumped like a CRT-TV.

Six months of effort, @francetelevisions.bsky.social finally ships its #C2PA POC.
They’ve cracked text encoding like it’s 1999… by ASCII‑ing it 😅

"rights": "France Televisions tous droits reserves"
Wrapped up in a deprecated #C2PA version.

I got my hands on a Sony PXW‑Z300 camera with #C2PA support!
The #C2PA implementation is minimal: just a signature (no timestamp), "SONY CAMERA" listed as the generator, and a 160×120 thumbnail. That’s all.
However, there’s also a "private" SSIG box (Sony Signature) containing XDCAM XML metadata.

#C2PA is a wasteland:
"Open standard"? unreadable specs → non‑compliant results.
"Open source code"? guarded by @adobe.com → bloated & painful to debug.
Result:
#IPTC , the global standards body of the news media, fails compliance, and their Verify tool (@adobe.com) blesses forgeries.

Yes, contentauthenticity, contentcredentials and npm have all different versions/binaries and js SDKs making it difficult to troubleshoot... It is working for me as of today on contentauthenticity & contentcredentials (there was recent updates), But the npm is not updated with the new trust lists.

Just got my hands on @Sony ILCE-7M4 camera images with #c2pa metadata.
Surprise! not compatible with @adobe.com @contentauth.bsky.social "Content Authenticity" or @adobe.com "Content Credentials" 😬
Also not compliant with version 2.2 (i.e Google Wall-garden).
My forgery looked much better anyway.
