  • a discussion can have multiple, separate threads with branching topics, that's what this threaded comment system is specifically made to facilitate

    • okay, let's rethread how we got here:

      OP: Spanish girls report AI porn of them circulating

      parent comment: Blockchain could fix this

      1-st level reply: Blockchain can't counteract fake porn being created

      2-nd level reply: it lets you verify original source

      3-rd level reply: if anything it lets you verify integrity between sources

      you: if a central authority can't be trusted to verify sources then Blockchain can

      me: it's not about verifying provenance of the material but rather its mere existence in the world

      you: we can store the fingerprint of the file in a trusted database

      me: but this doesn't affect the material's existence

      you: you're going off-topic!

      me: I am not

      you: this conversation can have multiple threads

      can you now see how it's you who's off the rails in this conversation? noone ever questioned how blockchain could allow verifying any piece's of media authenticity, but spreading forged, nonconsensual erotica is NOT about proving whether a photo or video in question is authentic; the problem is that people have got tools to do so in the first place, and before a victim can counteract and prove (using blockchain if you will) that a particular photo is a forgery, the damage is done regardless
