Police investigation remains open. The photo of one of the minors included a fly; that is the logo of Clothoff, the application that is presumably being used to create the images, which promotes its services with the slogan: “Undress anybody with our free service!”

      Not even that. It only allows you to verify that the source is identical to (the potentially wrong information) that was claimed at the time of recording by the person adding that information to the block chain. Blockchain, as usual, adds nothing here.

        it can add trust. If there’s a trusted central authority where these hashes can be stored then there’s no need for a blockchain. However, if there isn’t, then a blockchain could be used instead, as long as it’s big and established enough that everybody can agree that the data stored on it cannot be manipulated

          but false, nonconsensual nudes are not collectible items that need to have their authenticity proven. they are there to destroy peoples’ lives. even if 99% of people seeing your nude believe you it’s not authnetic, it still affects you heavily

            of course not, but that’s not what this comment thread is about. It’s about this:

            Ironically, in a sense we will revert back to the era before photography existed. To verify if something is real, we might have to rely on witness testimony.

            that’s where it can be very useful to store a fingerprint of a file in a trusted database, regardless of where that database gets its trust from

              sure, but again: why woudl anyone like to do that with consensual or nonconsensual nudes?

                  it very much is:

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

      yeah but the problem is mere existance of tools allowing pornographic forgery, not verifying whether the material is real or not
