MODERATORS
But for real, with the prevalence of AI its only a matter of time before the narrative becomes that it never happened and the photo we're all familiar with is just an AI fake.
And it wont matter howe much evidence there is that the photo existed for decades before good AI, that can just be handwaved away. We are truly in the post-truth era.
What a pessimistic take
The most realistic takes often are.
It can not be handwaved away. How much do for example evangelists convince you that fossils are artificial and don't support evolution theory?
Because creationist theory is based on unprovable spiritual stuff. It's much easier to believe "oh that's just western propaganda" than it is to believe "yes the omniscient sky dude put these fake bones here on purpose to test our loyalty to him"
What would be the point of trying to censor the tank man photo? People act like he was killed or something - he just stopped in front of the tanks, climbed on one for a minute, then was led away by bystanders. https://youtu.be/qq8zFLIftGk
I don't think he lived happily ever after, though

It's by far the most widely know photo from the incident and the CCP already denies anything happened on that day. Other than a change to their "outright ignore its existence policy" then why wouldnt they try and censor it?
