I like the related analogy of pre-war steel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-background_steel). Images and text from a bit before now are going to be a lot less contaminated. The Internet Archive will be like those sunken WW1 ships they now make sensitive lab equipment from to avoid the radioactive carbon contamination.
There may be something like compute-on-sensor for cameras being extended to add something like TPM to authenticate original photos with a signature, but even if a scheme like that is possible you'd have the problem of authenticated cameras taking authenticated photos of fake photos. Maybe lightfield cameras could be used, at least if lightfield capture tech outpaces lightfield display.
