Yes. You read that right. Johnson is saying that he is intentionally hiding insurrectionists from prosecution in the release of tapes that Republicans claim will vindicate them on January 6th.

    Almost positive the government has the tech to see through blurred faces. The alphabet boys will track down everyone they need to regardless.

      That would depend in the degree of blur. If it is the average blur you’d have in japanese pornography, then no, that tech does not exist. Super resolution is good, but not that good.

      And no, I have not tried.

      If they did, it’d be the same as the “enhance” tech from the tv shows.

      Blurring causes information loss, the blurrier it is, the more information is lost.

      After a certain point, so much is lost that nothing’s gonna help you get it back.

      It depends on how the blur is done. A lot of the simple blurring teqniques have publicly available tools for reversing. If you need to hide information by blurring, make sure the blur you are using was designed with that in mind (as opposed to being an artsy feature)
