I love it. I'd love to also see something like this that can hide or change number plates of cars before posting online.

  Why? I’ve never understood this practice. The number plate is already out in public nearly 24/7 anyway, what difference does it make if it’s unobscured in a photograph, unless it’s a stolen car or plate or something?

    In countries like Switzerland where we have strict privacy laws you can not just post pictures online of cars plates that may expose someone's privacy. For example a parking lot at a cancer hospital. The owner of a car can be identified by plate and therefore you need to make sure you don't expose them possibly having cancer etc.

    It’s not too difficult to use that information to find out where the car probably parks at night. The difference being the odds of a random finding the car plate useful vs online an abuser, criminal is higher.
