Announcing Gaza Verifiedhttps://gaza-verified.orgI’ve been having video conversations over Signal with people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts on the fediverse in an effort to vouch for their authenticity.This week, I whipped up a site to formalise this and to enable them to add a verified link to their Mastodon bios. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of time they need to spend proving that their accounts genuinely belong to a person suffering through genocide and famine in Gaza and help them with their fundraisers.The first four accounts belong to:• @Aseelsehwel • @NouranKhaledGh • @joynewacc • @mohshbairIf you want to get on the site, please contact me. See the guide for more information: https://gaza-verified.org/guidePlease share and donate to their fundraisers if you can.Thank you!💕CC @palestine #Gaza #Palestine #FreePalestine #fediverse #mastodon #verification

@aral Apparently accounts have already started being created to pretend to be verified. Users unfamiliar with the link verification system might end up not realizing that the link needs to be green with a checkmark.Here's an example: https://techhub.social/@m7moodfamily10/115151656713463500

@aral I got an idea by accident, when was reading the "Gaza Verified" phrase...Why dont we have a website that compares products, companies, etc. to have some knowledge what impact they may have on Gaza.It's just a thought, i have no idea how hard would it be to build and maintain such website

@aral A much welcome initiative. Tying it to the Mastodon verification feature is an excellent move.A little suggestion: the website just states "I verify that their accounts are genuine".Could you make a more specific assertion of what that statement means, to you? At the moment, I could think of all, or some of the following:Verified there is a person that looks like the avatarVerified that the person lives in GazaVerified that the persons mentioned in their fundraiser stories existVerified that the facts in the fundraiser stories are correct. (This is just an example. I believe that verification may easily transgress into the territory of humiliation, when taken to far.)So what does "Gaza Verified" specifically mean, from your perspective?

@aral I've received follow requests from accounts asking for donations and had put them on standby until i could verify them, some have been deleted in the meanwhile (scams i guess), but two remain, one you already mentioned and have approved and will donate as soon as possible (Nouran), but another one is not on the list, \@lolorenad, who last posted on August 29 and seems real

@aral @Aseelsehwel @NouranKhaledGh @joynewacc @mohshbair @palestine You could design a certification program around this using verifiable credentials (https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0/) that would allow you to give them something you've signed and contains stuff like maybe a link to an interview video or something that they can display as an emote or something--probably best if the video is embedded in the cert in case you get shut down and there's no place to put it. Or put it in a torrent in p2p land.

@globcoco @Aseelsehwel @NouranKhaledGh @joynewacc @mohshbair @palestine Sorry, that looks like one of the scam accounts. I believe it has already been removed.Good way to check: has the person just joined (eg. Today) and do they already have lots of posts (eg. Over a hundred).Variations of this account have been popping up on various servers yesterday/today and one even added a to link to gaza-verified.org to their account (of course it didn’t look verified).

@aral @palestine While I appreciate the initiative and the intent behind it, I must point out, that there's at least one account in the list that is proven to be using AI-generated footage for their verification video. This raises doubts about the methodologies used for proving authenticity before accepting anyone on this website.I'd like to encourage everyone to prefer trusted organizations for donations, such as the Global Sumud Flotilla or UNRWA or others.

@davidculley @elchorten Also if you know that Signal is somehow compromised, it is your duty to publicly disclose this with proof. Otherwise, please don’t spread FUD.

@helmet91 @palestine What are you taking about? There is no “verification video.” Which account are you talking about and what is this proof you purport to have?I’ve *personally* had video chats over Signal with all four of the people verified on the site currently and I am in touch with them daily.

@aral Video in Nouran's pinned post: shadows are inconsistently cast in every direction in the ruins in the background - one of the hallmarks of AI imagery. In the AI era I'm afraid, video calls on their own are no proof anymore.

@helmet91 I know Nouran uses ChatGPT for translations. I’ve chatted to her and her brother *live* over video on Signal.

@helmet91 And her older brother, Yousef, has an English Literature degree and was just recently asking me if I could help him find work. Does that sound like a scammer to you?https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/115062517821183778I really think you’re jumping to conclusions here.

@aral I mean, they're not supposed to use anything but a camera for a video that is meant for proving their authenticity.This was more than a year ago: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/02/deepfake-scammer-walks-off-with-25-million-in-first-of-its-kind-ai-heist/AI is evolving rapidly, it's only becoming easier to pull off such scams. This is why I cannot recommend video calls as proof.I do have ideas for validation that could be implemented before you accept Gazan profiles, but none of them would be 100% scam-proof either. Some strengthening wouldn't harm, nonetheless.

@aral Regarding the Upwork profile: this doesn't seem impossible in a scam operation at all.

@aral Je suis inquiète de nouveau. Je n'ai pas de nouvelles non plus. (Que j'ai normalement en dehors de Mastodon/Fedivderse) Espérons que ce soit juste un problème de connexion à internet... 😥🤞🏼@Aseelsehwel

@aral are you familiar with the tech 4 Palestine org set up by @paulbiggar ? What youre doing is something they would certainly appreciate and maybe even help support. Also look up UpScrolled. An instagram alternative build to help Palestine. It’s really quite impressive 🍉🇵🇸

@helmet91 These people are literally faced with genocide and famine and you’re out here acting like a dollar-store Sherlock Holmes.I’ve told you several times now that I’ve had live video conversations over Signal with Nouran and her brother Yousef.I don’t know what your problem is but what you’re doing by spreading this FUD is deplorable. I just saw that you wrote this blog post also: https://helmet91.com/post/how-not-to-get-scammedCongratulations, you are slandering people who are trying to survive genocide and famine.Please think long and hard about what you’re doing here.

https://gaza-verified.org/ by@aral makes it so easy to donate to help people in Gaza. Aral verifies each account. I just donated a small amount to each of the accounts listed and it's easy. They are mostly gofundme or chuffed.org
