dons tinfoil hat
Does anyone else find the jittery multicolored icon suspicious? It seems like it's begging to be used as a fingerprint to identify from which phone a video was recorded. It basically hides surveillance in plain site, and the fingerprint survives sharing/re-encoding.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoYou can see this one at least; there's a load of fingerprinting algorithms out there that don't rely on something plainly visible. Instead it's a very effective (IMO) watermark that draws the attention to the app and it was probably one of the reasons why it's so popular. I've seen it on Reddit a few times going 'wtf is that?'. Think of it like the modern-day's "Unregistered HyperCam 2".
- heywire 8y agoThat's a clever idea... not sure I would have ever thought of that. I need a better tinfoil hat.
