Did they really say that? Proving the source behind a claim in the age of AI
With trust under pressure from AI-generated content and misinformation, a proof of concept shows how claims can be linked to verified sources, so readers can check what was said and who said it.

Something, a queer Toronto organization, was gearing up for the #Pride edition of its flagship event. Then the group's co-founders couldn’t access their Instagram account, which had nearly 10,000 followers. Their small business and personal accounts had been disabled. New @mobocks.bsky.social:

A queer Toronto group was kicked off Instagram ahead of Pride. Then came Meta’s bizarre accusation of ‘human exploitation’
The group promoting its dance party felt it was the subject of unfair censorship, an accusation echoed by other artists.

Anyone with the extension will see your claim whenever that image is shared. And because your claim lives as a signed record in your PDS, there's cryptographic proof you authored it.
Screenshot of the same post as before, but now there are claims shown below it, adding more information and contradicting the post.
