Use Case: Using Verifiable Photos on Social Media with Witnessed

The Problem: Misinformation, Fake Content & Online Manipulation

Social media is full of powerful images — but how often can we trust what we see?

Every day, manipulated photos, staged videos, and AI-generated content go viral. Whether it’s breaking news, influencer posts, political claims, or even product promotions, platforms and audiences are flooded with content that may not be what it appears to be.

​

“That photo is fake.”
“This was staged.”
“When was this actually taken?”
“This is AI-generated — not real.”

​

In an era of deepfakes and misinformation, trust in visual content is collapsing — creators and brands can use new tools to prove authenticity.
