People preparing protest photos or videos for sharing
Worth noticing
The page says face detection was checked on close-up, daytime protest footage, while Android and several difficult filming conditions remain unverified.

Field notes

The interface provides controls to inspect findings, add or remove blur areas, and save or share the exported file. The page distinguishes tested conditions from unverified ones, including Android, night scenes, smoke, and covered faces. It also cautions that detection can miss small or overhead faces, so users should review the entire result before sharing.
