Visual Anonymity: YouTube Now Lets You Blur Faces With One Click
YouTube today launched a new feature that allows its users to easily blur the faces of everybody in a video with just one click. This, says YouTube policy associate Amanda Conway in a blog post today, can have a number of uses. It can, for example, help users ensure they can share a video of activists during a protest without putting them at risk for later repercussions. As YouTube becomes an increasingly important part of how news spreads, having the ability to ensure the safety of those captured on these videos becomes imperative. At the same time, of course, this new feature can also help users share video of their children without broadcasting their faces to the world. This new visual anonymity, says Conway, will allow "people to share personal footage more widely and to speak out when they otherwise may not."Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/GDK-yLnm4GI/
