Re-Named- 777 User ID: 19694952 United Kingdom 07/18/2012 04:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't like this it all. No one should need to be blurring their faces out, unless they have something to be ashamed over. Its just gonna be used by people to get away with stuff. Better to live for today, than wait for a day that never comes. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 19310850 United States 07/18/2012 04:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | this tool is going to be coupled with a complaint form, and they can sensor anyone they don't like. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14785994 SO if a really bad thing is caught on camera in public, If the person does not like it, they can sensor themselves out of the video. HMMM> So, like the girl that google earth street view captured outside her home completely naked could go to youtube, find a video where someone is talking about it and has the pic in their video--she herself can blur her face (so no-one else can see who it is) or only the person who uploaded. Right now, they are saying the person who uploaded can do this, but you think in the future it could be the people featured. That sounds like a good idea, imo but I'm a private person. People shouldn't do gross things in public anyway but seriously, has anyone not picked their underwear out of the butts (hands outside of pants) when they were teens after they looked around and thought they could get away with it for the 2 seconds it took? Is it necessary to have that replayed on youtube for the rest of your life because a security camera caught it or someone with an iphone just happened to round the corner at that very moment...LOL. |

Phennommennonn (OP) Forum Administrator 07/18/2012 05:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | you can bet your ass if they got software to detect a face in a photo, they are scanning them into facial recognition databases. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14785994 and they dont have that already in walmart? on the streets? in schools/buses? airports et al etc cmon political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. |

If you upload a video to youtube and there software does the facial blurring....then youtube has a copy of the original video with the un-blurred faces. I can't believe that youtube won't save a copy of the original. Last Edited by Morpheus on 07/18/2012 06:07 PM |
