Cameras don’t cryptographically sign the images they take. Even if that was added, there are billions of cameras in use that don’t support signing the images. Also, any sort of editing, resizing, or reencoding would make that signature invalid. Almost no one is going to post pictures to the web without any sort of editing. Embedding 10+ MB images in a web page is not practical.

We aren’t talking about current cameras. We are talking about the proposed plan to make cameras that do cryptographically sign the images they take.

This system is specifically mentioned in the original post: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-search-image-labels-ai-edited-38082.html when they say “C2PA”.
