It's easier than ever to de-censor videos
Here’s a concise summary of the article:
A YouTuber’s experiment with pixelated video content surprisingly revealed that it’s relatively simple to de-pixelate using readily accessible tools and AI assistance. Three individuals successfully deciphered the obscured text within the video within a day, prompting the creator to share a GitHub repository detailing the process – including two distinct methods using TensorFlow and GIMP – along with the code. The creator now plans to use a pure-colored mask instead of pixelation for future sensitive content, highlighting the ease with which this type of data can be recovered and emphasizing the importance of avoiding posting sensitive information online.
