This is a website that can forge twitter.com, weibo.com, zhihu.com, douban.com, jianshu.com, and other website's screenshots, but the purpose of this website is to tell (people that do not understand programming) ordinary people: Do not trust those "screenshots" seen online easily!
If one day you see such a picture online, what is your first reaction?
“holy shit, so fast?”
“have the time recently, Learn!”
“What's the difference with 2.0?”
"How is the compatibility with TS?"
In any case, as long as the first reaction is not to doubt it's authenticity, then you are the victim of "fake screenshot"!
We have all seen various screenshots: including but not limited to Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Youtube, Tumblr, media reports...
That will be fine if those screenshots only involved jokes or life stuff, but some of them are not. They are often related to something/someone. This (fake screenshot) is very likely to lead people to make a wrong opinion about the thing/ Person (the reason why I say so is I think most fake pictures producers have a bad motivation.)
In addition, most people will not actively verify the authenticity of the screenshot (the reason for not doing this is not discussed here), which is one of the important reasons for the proliferation of "fake screenshots".
So what can I do?
Three directions:
- Prevent the spread of screenshots (very difficult to achieve)
- Tell people to take the initiative to verify (hard to achieve)
- At least tell people to keep skeptical (is possible).
I chose the third direction. I chose to do the opposite, to write a website that helps people to make fake screenshots of common websites and software (of course, the content can be customized by the user) easily.
Tell people (ordinary person who does not understand programming) something like this: "Holy shit, the screenshots of the websites/apps can be faked!
How to spread our "falsification" website?
When people make a fake screenshot, we will add a "very insignificant" watermark pointing to our site.
So you think that when this person sees those screenshots again, will he be suspicious of the content subconsciously?
Is the fake screenshot all bad?
Of course not. "all" is meaningless.
What is the significance of this project?
Tell people to be suspicious when they see any screenshots.
