The story behind the video that was used to prove the “inappropriate behavior” of CNN reporter Jim Acosta towards a White House intern, leading to withdrawal of his press pass, is a sad yet dramatic example of how technology – and not even IoT in this case (see the debate around the edits that apparently may have been made to the video https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet/status/1060521980615634944) is just a means in the hands of the “net”.
As “At issue here is how video speed and frame rate affects the human ability to perceive force," said Britt Paris, a researcher with Data & Society studying audio-visual manipulation. "Context matters, and time and duration is an oft-overlooked part of context that helps us interpret the content of a video."
Can NGI technology help us identify whether a video has been tampered with?
