A link to the video could be shared via ActivityPub. The video would be loaded over HTTPS; we can verify that the video is from the white house, and that it hasn't been modified in-transit.
A big issue is that places don't want to share a link to an independently verifiable video, they want you to load a copy of it from their website/app. This way we build trust with the brand (e.g. New York Times), and spend more time looking at ads or subscribe. @stockRot@technology

Exactly. This “solution” doesn’t take into account how people actually use the Internet. Unless we expect billions of people to change their behavior, this is just a pointless comment.
