That's not the point. It's that malicious actors could easily exploit that lack of knowledge to trick users into giving fake videos more credibility.

If I were a malicious actor, I'd put the words "✅ Verified cryptographically by the White House" at the bottom of my posts and you can probably understand that the people most vulnerable to misinformation would probably believe it.
