C2PA's cryptographic signing of media files won't stop deepfakes, despite claims that it provides a solution.

Bores' HTTPS analogy underscores issues in trust and enforcement, but overlooks the deeper human challenges of recognizing deceptive content. Perceptual training, not cryptography, is essential for navigating misinformation.
