ΒΉ Perhaps this #SHA512 generates a hash of 'the web page and the images / videos used' so that the whole thing can be 'verified by the #NewsOrganization & #TheReporter' as a cross signed #VerifiedNewsStory so one could, as a reader, know iF this has been modified via #MITM or not, showing the story as a #TrustedNewsStory?
