Don’t rely on Adobe Illustrator, like IPTC, for your C2PA manifests, It produces SVG files so bad that they manage to crash Adobe’s own C2PA verifier UI. Use Inkscape, It just work at 1/100 (?) of the file size. IPTC is heavily bankrolled by Adobe, I get they have to use Illustrator.

The IPTC "Origin Verify" ( @adobe.com C2PA) verifier has returned, promising trust for journalists. Sadly, one of my forgery managed to crash the verifier. But don’t worry, it’s ‘Open Source! Which in @adobe.com novlang means locked down and proprietary.

To make the LinkedIn’s slop look even sloppier, Microsoft’s PR squad proudly upscales their blurry JPEGs through ChatGPT and then brag about transparency in the name of C2PA.

Google’s AI image verification is downright terrifying. Shutting it down seems like the only option. "This image is an authentic, historical photograph and is *not AI-generated*." blog.google/technology/a...

Great! Google rolls out its shiny new AI image verification. So let’s put it to the test with two genAI images: one from DALL·E 3, and one from the latest Nano Banana 3 The verdict? It fails spectacularly. Worse: it ends up granting legitimacy to the very fakes it’s meant to expose.

It was inevitable. Google made some attempts with the Pixel 10, but Vivo has become the first to certify as 'authentic' an image entirely reconstructed by AI. With that, C2PA can no longer be considered a reliable proof of authenticity.

Vivo has quietly begun embedding C2PA into photos captured by the camera of its latest flagship, the vivo X300 Pro. However, the C2PAs are not recognized by the official "open-source" online Verifier and c2patool. - both abandontained by @adobe.com @contentauth.bsky.social -

Confirmed! 😀 alphauniverse.com/stories/sony...

#C2PA "verifiers" update! - The IPTC "Origin Verify" has been spinning its wheel for almost a month now. - The @truepic.bsky.social one resolves a 404 error. - The @Microsoft "Content Integrity" has a SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN #Abandonware

Who could’ve guessed? The #C2PA "solution" pushed by the AI industry to calm regulators over AI risks is now vibe coded. 🙄

That's incredible! Not only Linkedin is almost 100% AI slop, but it's certified, thanks to the #C2PA ministry of slop! Sadly @LinkedIn is not on the C2PA Conforming Products List, and it still happily strip the "Content Credentials" from the video stream.

The @adobe.com @contentauth.bsky.social has launched a new ad campaign targeting artists for the #C2PA "Adobe Content Authenticity" abandonware. With a 30 min(!) weird merchandising "podcast" and the usual Instagram vertical reel. As always, the "durable attribution" is one click away of deletion.

"And OpenAI’s position at C2PA seems hypocritical given that, as it’s creating a tool that actively promotes deepfakes of real people" Who could’ve guessed? The #C2PA "solution" pushed by the AI industry to calm regulators over AI risks is a scam. www.theverge.com/report/80635...

Who could’ve guessed? The #C2PA "solution" pushed by the AI industry to calm regulators over AI risks is ineffective.

Who could’ve guessed? The #C2PA "solution" pushed by the AI industry to calm regulators over AI risks is ineffective. The fact that the article itself is sponsored by an AI company only makes matters worse. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Do you remember when implementations of the #C2PA standard were both secure and interoperable? None of the Tailly “Slop” Norwood images, regurgitated straight from the GPU pipelines of Black Forest Labs "Flux" and Runway ML (Google, Nvidia, Salesforce) have valid C2PA provenance labels.

Verifox by golimbo.ai is now officially a #C2PA conforming product. 🤔 github.com/c2pa-org/con...

"the C2PA Conformance Program provides a formal mechanism to ensure that implementations of the C2PA standard for Content Credentials are both secure and interoperable" 🥳 to @adobe.com @contentauth.bsky.social @andyparsons.net for having the "Adobe Content Authenticity" #spyware passing the test.

Oops, turns out the code "is" online. And I was spot‑on about the watermark: it’s literally commented as “FFmpeg command with advanced watermark settings” 😂

The BBC calls its C2PA "stamping tool" open source, yet no repo exists. From what I saw at IBC, it looked like nothing more than FFmpeg drawtext (v0.6, 2010) for watermarking, wrapped with Adobe’s c2patool and its WASM C2PA decoder. There was no demo with the Sony Camera, probably not compatible.

The #C2PA Watermarking Task Force (WTF) claims to have launched “the most robust and accessible content verification system ever deployed in a developing nation.” - The watermark is removable with a single click. - Desktop only, in a country where 80% of internet access happens on mobile.

If is was only NIkon... BBC publishing a "verified" Fake, IPTC messing up metadata, Microsoft and Adobe signing everything The new specs solve all the problems! said the C2PA Product Lead at Google. For 2 days later removing from a blog post a C2PA signed image doxing his home location.

I got my hands on a old Sony ILME-FX30 with #C2PA support while browsing the 2025 IBC Show. Way cheaper than the PXW-Z300 if Sony decides to release the firmware 🤔. But Sony prefers to sell the PXW-Z300 as the "first" camera with #C2PA support.

And there you have it, #C2PA certified crash! Yet it wasn’t difficult: record the video at the set time and sign it with the good old @adobe.com @contentauth.bsky.social #C2PA software. Adaptive streams? Nowhere to be found. Metadata? Dumped like a CRT-TV. www.franceinfo.fr/une-informat...

Six months of effort, @francetelevisions.bsky.social finally ships its #C2PA POC. They’ve cracked text encoding like it’s 1999… by ASCII‑ing it 😅 "rights": "France Télévisions/ 'Tous droits réservés'" "rights": "France Televisions tous droits reserves" Wrapped up in a deprecated #C2PA version.

At least it validates successfully.

I got my hands on a Sony PXW‑Z300 camera with #C2PA support! The #C2PA implementation is minimal: just a signature (no timestamp), "SONY CAMERA" listed as the generator, and a 160×120 thumbnail. That’s all. However, there’s also a "private" SSIG box (Sony Signature) containing XDCAM XML metadata.

#C2PA is a wasteland: "Open standard"? unreadable specs → non‑compliant results. "Open source code"? guarded by @adobe.com → bloated & painful to debug. Result: #IPTC , the global standards body of the news media, fails compliance, and their Verify tool (@adobe.com) blesses forgeries.

Google’s #C2PA lead @contentauth.bsky.social tried to erase a photo doxxing him, thanks to #C2PA he wrote the specs for. Only to discover that the hosting site had also signed it with #C2PA. Now the photo is in the Internet Archive, showing for the eternity that #C2PA is a privacy nightmare

"Treat [C2PA] like PII: minimize, encrypt, segment, and set clear, short retention" As experienced by the @contentauth.bsky.social Google's C2PA "obsessively privacy-preserving" Product Lead, who (perhaps unintentionally), revealed his home address via an image taken with a Google Pixel 10 camera.

Another #C2PA forgery: 🥱 The image was taken using Leica and Nikon cameras, which may have been running a custom OpenAI firmware, according to @contentauth.bsky.social @adobe.com contentauthenticity.adobe.com/inspect?sour...

Great! @contentauth.bsky.social @adobe.com has chosen to enforce compliance with the #C2PA specifications on the "Verify" website. 🤣 Services/companies affected: US Department of Defense, @truepic.bsky.social, most @iptc.org, all OpenAI, @microsoft.com "Election" integrity....

Remember when they swore Content Credentials couldn’t trace an image to a user or device? A Pixel C2PA‑signed shot from a "obsessively privacy-preserving" @contentauth.bsky.social Google engineer, pinpointed his home address. Not sharing for legal reasons😬

Google has cautiously framed its "Content Credentials" to avoid liability. Images from the Pixel 10 are either AI "computational composites" or AI-edited. None can be certified as fully authentic. Links in comment If you want to learn why Google computational composite is AI:

Yet another entry in the ever-growing catalog of #C2PA implementation disasters: Nikon. - 3 years in the making: first prototype in October 2022 - It adhered to C2PA version 1.4: a spec already two years out of date and officially phased out. - Suspended after a week. imagingcloud.nikon.com/news/

Security vulnerability? Having a genAI image made by Midjourney masqueraded as taken by a Nikon Camera with a @contentauth.bsky.social #C2PA certificate has been promoted for months on the Content Credentials website. #karma petapixel.com/2025/09/04/n...

It's official! You can secure your #AIslop as genuine with a @Nikon Z6 III #C2PA camera. 🤣 The firmware has been 2 years in the making. Defeated in 2 days. nikonrumors.com/2025/09/03/m...

Just got my hands on @Sony ILCE-7M4 camera images with #c2pa metadata. Surprise! not compatible with @adobe.com @contentauth.bsky.social "Content Authenticity" or @adobe.com "Content Credentials" 😬 Also not compliant with version 2.2 (i.e Google Wall-garden). My forgery looked much better anyway.

Interesting, I came across some Google GenAI images (Imagen, Nano Banana?) dated 2025‑08‑26 that already include C2PA metadata, naturally hosted on an AI‑generated content ad farm. Issuer: Google Media Processing Services (Google LLC) Generator: Google C2PA Core Generator Library Quiet launch?

The @LinkedIn @contentauth.bsky.social flagship #C2PA implementation gives no disclosure for AI-generated @adobe.com Adobe Stock #AIslop packeted for advertisers. Does the Linkedin bots gives Lenovo a better ROI? That would explain this Slop2Bots marketing campaign.

Reminder: @adobe.com, Microsoft ,OpenAI @contentauth.bsky.social have pushed C2PA hard to regulators to advance more AI slop.

Confirmed: The Pixel 10 C2PA is not compatible with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Content Authenticity 😬 bsky.app/profile/giga...

Just got my hands on the Pixel 10. Google nails #C2PA with proper IPTC tags for HDR and AI edits, alongside SDK version. Naturally, it’s incompatible with any "open‑source & interoperable" #C2PA enabled @adobe.com software. Likely a plus, given Adobe’s security history.

Images from the Pixel 10 review units supplied to the press lack any #C2PA metadata. Only the same old misinterpreted and malformed standards. source: @batteryhq.bsky.social / @cnet.com

In just 10 months, Google has delivered on the "C2PA conformance" (Google Pixel 10). Something Adobe has spent nearly six years misrepresenting and failing to accomplish. The Adobe "Content Authenticity" (Adobe division to promote "Safe AI" for regulatory capture) will probably end-up as abandonware

A lightweight, fast, and privacy-focused #C2PA verifier! ❤️ Compatible with Chrome and Firefox and combined with additional metadata: it makes the information displayed really relevant. by @antonpodolsky.bsky.social Next step: replace the bloated Adobe wasm based SDK with trustnxt/c2pa-ts?

A patent war over digital content verification was inevitable: a French company now claims the C2PA content authenticity standard infringes its patents. ipfray.com/upc-gets-wor...

Adobe is emphasizing the security of its entire AI slop ecosystem in a blog post directed at U.S. regulators. As proof, it includes an unlabeled Midjourney AI generated image from their own Adobe Slock to illustrate theirs claims. 🤦‍♀️ blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2...
