FW: [Malvern] Paranoid about Big Brother?

[Ian Pascoe]

I suppose the next question is after the yellow printing dots, and camera +
GPS info embedded in your pics, is there anything out there that couldn't
have sensitive information relating to you embedded in it?

Nurgle!  My brain hurts just thinking about it.  I think I'll just remain in
blissful ignorance.

Definitely interesting, although the truth goes further, not that the
Proles care much.

One related thing that was touched on in the comments is the idea of
being able to cryptographically prove that the supposed image from your
camera really was taken and is unchanged. Of course the scene could be
faked in real life but journalists and bigfoot hunters would love to be
able to easily say that the image was really what was in front of the
camera.
