AI, Edited Media & Authenticity Labels
Material edits, synthetic voices, face swaps, generated screenshots, and composite images must be disclosed when authenticity matters. A label must be visible with the content, not hidden in a later reply.
Minor aesthetic edits do not require a label unless they change evidence or meaning. Cropping out decisive context, changing timestamps, removing attribution, or presenting reenactment as an original record is deceptive.
When submitting evidence, provide the closest available original and explain any conversion, redaction, transcription, or enhancement. Never use enhancement tools to invent detail that was not captured.
