Doug argues that C2PA (Content Credentials) cannot resolve issues in a post-truth society, as people often use information to reinforce existing beliefs rather than seek truth. He suggests that education and immersion are key, but notes the challenges due to unreliable sources and vested interests.

Doug notes that disinformation is not a new phenomenon, highlighting its presence even in the early days of the printing press. He cites a passage from Ada Palmer's Inventing the Renaissance, illustrating how pamphlets spread various forms of news, including sensational and fabricated stories, across Europe in the 16th century.
