None of the platform pages read promises that embedded C2PA or IPTC provenance survives into a file you download back. TikTok's only persistence statement (2024) is a plan to attach Content Credentials that remain on downloads; Meta says invisible markers can be stripped; YouTube says its camera-capture disclosure can be lost by edits that break the provenance chain and that a missing disclosure does not imply editing; LinkedIn's help page says nothing about stripping or keeping manifests. No page documents how IPTC digital source type is handled on upload. Curator qualifications: Platform pages read 2026-10-22; no upload or download tested. Meta April 2024 post (July 2024 update) and the Adobe Behance report not reinspected. Absence on one page at one date is not evidence about behaviour. Limitations: Platform pages read 2026-10-22; no upload or download tested. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
