What’s to stop CopyCop from telling people they’re a trusted news source and proudly digitally signing their images? Perhaps you could have cameras sign their pictures in the pixels of the image, but this precludes (almost all types of) editing of images used online, and also CopyCop will shortly acquire a camera that can sign arbitrary images with the manufacturer’s key, if it actually becomes important.
There’s nothing to stop them, of course. But an article known to be from a reputable source is likely to have more impact than one from a known source of disinformation.
I have not claimed this is more than a “partial solution”.
