IN the NEWS - More Control Proposed?

.... for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; 
for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Revelation 18:3
 
These people on the Far Left are ALL ABOUT FINDING ANY WAY possible, any Excuse, to intimidate or silence their Political Opponents in a Democracy. This Latest Marxist/Fascist proposal---IF ever Implemented---
Q: How might it Grease the Skids for Control by the Beast Power?
 
"Former President Barack Obama suggested in a new interview the
development of "
digital fingerprints" to combat misinformation and distinguish between true and misleading news for consumers.
"As I've told people, because I was the first digital president when I left office, I was probably the most recorded, filmed, photographed human in history, which is kind of a weird thing," responded Obama. "But just the odds are that I was. As a consequence, there's a lot of raw material there."
He then suggested "digital fingerprints" to discern truth from misinformation.
"And the need for us, for the general public, I think to be more discriminating consumers of news and information, the need for us to over time develop technologies to create watermarks or digital fingerprints so we know what is true and what is not true," he said. "There's a whole bunch of work that's going to have to be done there, but in the short term, it's really going to be up to the American people to kind of say." 
The interview came about six weeks after the Obama Foundation on World Press Freedom Day posted a recent video of the former president lecturing about "widespread disinformation" and the need for journalists to create "an information environment" to support democracy.
----Critics were quick to point out that Obama promoted the debunked narrative that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election and that Obama infamously won Politifact's "Lie of the Year" in 2013 by telling Americans, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it," referring to the Affordable Care Act."
