This serves no purpose as it is trivial to 'shop these big letters out of the image.
- tripzilch 15y agoI dunno what your ID cards look like, but ours have intricate patterns all over them. Additionally there's a punctured-hole pattern that vaguely corresponds to the photograph, so that's unique for every ID. I can't really imagine how you'd want to reconstruct that, and even if you could I'd hardly call it trivial.
- abcd_f 15y agoNo need to reconstruct anything, just save the image with a higher JPEG compression and all the intricate patterns will be well blurred. I really doubt FB is spending any time whatsoever on validating these patterns.
