Efforts to fight disinformation

In the 2020 book Mining Disinformation and Fake News: Concepts, Methods, and Recent Advancements, blockchain technology is explained on how to combat disinformation. Blockchain technology allows for proof of ownership to be verifiable, ensuring data remains intact. Any data that has been tampered with can be traceable.

Several companies have made an attempt to use blockchain technology on their platform. Truepic is a photo and video verification platform, and wants to restore trust in visual media. Truepic uses a technology called Controlled Capture, which verifies photo information. This includes pixel contents and metadata. When a photo is uploaded to the Truepic server, a digital fingerprint is created. This encrypted data is then uploaded onto the blockchain. From there, a verification page is created, allowing users to view the original content and all verification tests. These records are not controlled by Truepic.
