Barack Obama has proposed the implementation of “digital fingerprints” online to help with fighting “misinformation,” the former president said during a CNN Audio podcast this week.

“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,” Obama said.

“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 overtime develop technologies to create watermarks or digital fingerprints so we know what is true and what is not true,” he continued.

Obama said he thinks that most people are now aware that “not everything that pops up on your phone is true,” but warned misinformation could be used to discourage people from voting by characterizing the system as “corrupt.”

“That can oftentimes advantage the powerful,” said Obama. “And I am worried about that kind of cynicism developing even further during the course of this next election.”

From The Gateway Pundit:

Obama expressed concern about the next election cycle. If the government doesn’t control what they call “misinformation,” or opinions that oppose them, it could impact the election results.

Recall, current Secretary of State Tony Blinken was reportedly behind the effort to put together a list of government intel leaders to claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation” to help Biden with his election.

In addition, Obama spread the false claim that then-candidate Donald Trump conspired with Russia to secure his victory in 2016.
