Excellent move and a good step towards using signing keys to authenticate genuine content, something I think will become inevitable across the board.

How would it work?

You probably claim copyright infringement if a shady cam face recognition service takes your image. And they'd have to remove it

This reads like a legit version of SovCit theory

Heh, yeah. But probably just a legal way to be able to stop agencies selling your data, since then they are profiting off of copyrighted "works"

The article is unclear but that's my reading of it too. It's obviously infeasible to sue everybody who does this (especially if you're a public figure, it would be hundreds of lawsuits) so I think the endgame is that if the content doesn't have a signature, we assume it's fake.

It would be almost impossible to know who even had a copy, but maybe it also gives a legal avenue to stop agencies selling your face data, since they'd be profiting off of copyrighted "works"
