Fair point. But I think this effort still will provide some benefit to those that understand the "arms race" of deep fakes vs detectors that is now unfolding
It's not just about whether if a text, image, sound or video is fake or not. It's about where you get your sources from or the narratives the news organization, or platform you read from. They can still coordinate a mass ban on any source for no particular reason.
A single source or narrative is extremely dangerous. Multiple sources and narratives paint the full picture and expose the lies and contradictions themselves. The moment a platform removes or censors a source for no particular reason, it begs the question if it is biased, dishonest, doesn't fit their narrative or if they are trustworthy themselves. Which is why I am very skeptical with some of the sources in this 'Trusted News Initiative':

Once again, Do not believe everything you see, hear or read on the internet. Use multiple sources and take some of the content they show with a grain of salt.
