You could implement it like that but I’m not convinced that’s the way this will go. The only way this will have mass adoption, I’m afraid, is if the tech giants can fleece us one way or another.

I think the only risk is if this somehow becomes legally mandated. I just don’t see how that’s possible.
Adoption has a clear path because professional photographers, journalists, and publishers have motivation to prove the authenticity of their images.
For consumers…meh. I don’t enable GPS on my phone camera, and I wouldn’t enable this either. I don’t need to prove anything.
Profitability, not user interest, is the deciding factor. We’ll see how it plays out. I don’t think this one will last
