Not quite.

You can prove that a message is authored by whoever controls the private key behind a particular npub, but that does not prove or disprove whether the content of the message is true or false, real or fake.

IN THE DIGITAL AGE
YOU NEED SIGNED MESSAGES
OR ELSE YOU DONT KNOW
WHATS TRUE OR FAKE

A SIGNED MESSAGE NEEDS NO SOURCE
IT IS THE SOURCE !
