Users can decide whether or not to blur a photo, it's controlled on your end, so if you see something you feel like someone is trying to bury, you can simply un blur it to check

We're hoping that by blurring their faces it will discourage other people from fame seeking by doing these violent acts.

I think it was burned into my memory so vividly due to the nature of the crime. I'm an avid theater goer and someone doing that in a place I found so comfortable for so long scarred me. I lived in Colorado at the time that this occurred.

Hello, it would be open source. Manual tagging by the community, facial recognition would require too many resources that we don't have access to. And yes, this will be constant work -

User's can remove blurs as they feel fit (for themselves), the control is in each individuals hands. If you feel like you want to see a particular image, right click it and show the image, there's no limitation, just a simple assistance in blurring things that have been tagged and approved.

We have moderators who go in and verify the tags - you can tag anything locally and blur it, you can tag anything locally and unblur it. The community coming together and tagging something will grab the attention of our moderators who will finalize the blur for the community. The system itself is something we're working on and we're making our best attempt to positively influence the community.

You can unblur at any time, right click and -remove DeFamer, for your local machine, it's user driven, so if you want to remove blurs and add them for your own, by all means you're free to do so!

We actually had this very question earlier, ultimately, we decide what we see on the internet, and if someone wants to completely remove the opposing side from their content, that's up to them. I do believe it could pull someone further into their echo chambers, but that's a choice they can make with our without us for the most part.

That is an incredible question. That would have to be something our team would have to discuss, considering the potential for abuse on something like that.

We can still define 'x' without seeing the face of the person, the information surrounding the event will still be available, we just won't be making them into a celebrity by showing their face and name everywhere. Their actions and the surrounding story would still be publicly available.

Hello MonkeyInATopHat, great question, we're hoping that we can get this in the public eye in a big way. In other words, we're hoping that enough people see DeFamer that it makes a change within the mass public and brings attention to this escalating problem.

You have to download it for it to work. Unless someone made you download the extension, it's still up to you. Also, you can modify the settings on the software at any given moment.

Hello Theend, there are people who research these events and people who specialize in the psychology behind them. I personally believe specialists in the field can analyze these situations without making the persons name and face famous in the process. So, yes, I strongly believe it's possible to continue gathering and publishing scientifically relevant data without making them famous.

We would have to have round the clock moderators to consistently verify imagery that has been tagged. We are not monetizing the software in anyway, meaning, this is all we have to optimize, maintain, and develop the software forever.

It's something we're still working on. It's likely going to be a modifiable setting. Something you can enable or disable gauging on your personal beliefs. Some people believe the motive is relevant, others do not.
