You can no longer trust what you see. An earthquake video spreads from a different earthquake, three years ago. A leader's speech circulates, a speech he never gave. A city looks like it's burning, that city is quiet, and a model generated the footage. This isn't a technical problem. We are losing the ability to know what is happening in the world. *That's why OnEarth exists.* OnEarth is a live video platform where events are watched as they unfold. One difference, one rule: every video on the platform must be verified at the moment of capture. --- *THE WORLD, IN REAL TIME* Open the app and you don't get an archive, you get now. A crowd gathering in a square. A storm hitting a coastline. A queue at a border crossing. The final minute inside a ninety-thousand-seat stadium. Touch a point on the map and if someone is broadcasting there, you're inside it. Follow a city, follow a region, when something starts there, you know first. *VERIFICATION DOESN'T COME AFTERWARDS* Most platforms moderate content after upload. OnEarth verifies while the camera is still recording: •⁠ ⁠*GPS* - confirms where it was filmed •⁠ ⁠*Timestamp* - confirms when •⁠ ⁠*AI detection* - every submission passes through it If that chain breaks, the video doesn't go live. No exceptions. *No AI. No old content. No fakes.* *IF YOU'RE THERE, YOU'RE THE SOURCE* If you're inside an event, raise your phone and go live. Your video carries its proof with it. You never have to say "I was really there" the file already says it. The world needs to know what's actually happening. *Download OnEarth.*
