Can the original image hosted on IPFS change due to content addressing?
I've noticed that many images are hosted on IPFS using content addressing. I'm curious to know if this means that the original image could potentially change over time. Could someone please clarify if content addressing on IPFS allows for modifications to the original image? I appreciate any insights on this matter.

1The image can be changed without affecting the validity of the content, as long as the CID (Content Identifier) remains pinned. The CID serves as proof that the content, at a specific point in time, accurately represented what it claimed to be. It is essentially the encoded representation of the content.
