Well, it looks like verification photos might be useless now. (startrek.website)

Was it really that hard to Photoshop enough to bypass mods that are not experts at photo forensic?

    I think it takes a considerable amount of work to photoshop something written on a sheet of paper that has been crumpled up and flattened back out.

    If you have experience with the program it's piss easy

    However most people do not have experience.

    You also have to include the actual person holding something that can be substituted for the paper.

    Sort of. You just need the vague correct position of the elbow/shoulder and facing the camera. You can get away with photoshopping different arms and most people wouldn't notice if you do it correctly.

    It's mostly about filtering the low-hanging fruit, aka the low effort trolls, repost bots, and random idiots posting revenge porn.

    there's a lot of tools to verify if something was photoshopped or not... you don't need to be an expert to use them

    Can you share more? Never had to use one.

    You can verify the resolution changes across a video or photo. This can be overcome by setting a dpi limit to your lowest resolution item in the picture, but most people go with what looks best instead of a flat level.
