A link to the video could be shared via ActivityPub.
The video would be loaded over HTTPS; we can verify that the video is from the white house, and that it hasn't been modified in-transit.
A big issue is that places don't want to share a link to an independently verifiable video, they want you to load a copy of it from their website/app. This way we build trust with the brand (e.g. New York Times), and spend more time looking at ads or subscribe.

Exactly. This "solution" doesn't take into account how people actually use the Internet. Unless we expect billions of people to change their behavior, this is just a pointless comment.
Might be closer than you think. The White House is just using Instagram right now: https://www.whitehouse.gov
