The tech giant teamed up with a number of other giants and media companies, which has created a system of tracing all content online.

A press release states that the company has partnered with several organisations to form a Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity.

Its main goal will be to devise a system that all content on the internet can be traced back to its original author or creator.
