How long before Color becomes Chat Roulette? What protections are children afforded where the content is not "personally identifiable?" And how long after that

How long before Color becomes Chat Roulette? What protections are children afforded where the content is not "personally identifiable?"
And how long after that before Apple drops Color from their App Store?
- sorbus 16y agoI've been wondering about that for a while. The application is vulnerable to GPS spoofing (you can get your phone to tell it that you are somewhere you aren't), and while all the stuff it does to identify location (amount of light, listening to sound) is nifty, it can surely be defeated. How long will it be until hardcore pornography fills the feed at some major event? Or spam images, asking the reader to visit a site?
- endergen 16y agoThere are some good PGP type filtersnyouncould do. The more pictures of yourself you take the more likely you are who you claim. You can't reuse an visual identity very well because you can't be in two places at once. If strangers are constantly taking pictures with you then that adds to the validity of your identity. So GPS spoofing would allow you to flood some area with a feed but for how long, you need to fake so many things. And you won't get connected to someone unless they mutually take a photo. It's very clever in it's ability to naturally prevent cheating. Which brings us back to why it's so creepy. I'm not gonna lie. I'm too much of a futurist to not think the data it collects isn't gonna be freaking powerful/cool.
