It's supposed to be used by social media sites to blur your face out of uploaded photos if they detect you are wearing the badge.
It would require sites to voluntarily implement it of course.
- icebraining 10y agoDetecting the badge seems doable; detecting with any accuracy the person wearing it seems very hard.
- alimbada 10y agoAlso, badge could be obscured with the person's face still visible. Maybe a sticker on the forehead will work...
- coldtea 10y ago>Detecting the badge seems doable; detecting with any accuracy the person wearing it seems very hard. Huh? We have had facial detection for decades, it's even in corn flake boxes now so to speak...
- ldjb 10y agoDetecting the face isn't the problem. The problem is detecting which face is attached to the body wearing the badge. There may be several people in a photo. Determining which face is associated with each badge is no easy feat.
- michaelmior 10y ago> It would require sites to voluntarily implement it of course. My concern is that some would decide it's fun to detect people wearing the badge and try to spread more photos of them. I can't see that not happening so I'm not sure it will be a net win for privacy.
- SnacksOnAPlane 10y agoMy thoughts exactly. Kind of like it's more interesting to see who's using encryption because they're probably the ones who are trying to hide something.
- michaelmior 10y agoI understand the comparison, but I think equating using encryption to trying to hide something to be mostly a fallacy. Maybe there's a nonzero correlation, but despite having "nothing to hide" (that is, nothing particularly serious or interesting), I still highly prefer using encryption where possible.
