YouTube's new blur-faces tool [updated]
http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/2012/07/protecting-youtubes-revolutionaries.html
There are some problems with this idea you should be aware of. These are the ones I can see right away:
* YouTube gets the original, with the faces (It would be better to use your own tool that doesn't require uploading).
* People might confuse uploading with publishing and publish the wrong one.
* There might be metadata in the video that could identify people related to the video that isn't deleted. A further tool would be needed for that.
* Uploading video requires a login, and your IP address is no doubt logged, so the publisher of the video is always exposed, along with the computer or device used to upload.

The Museum will have two lectures tied into the show. The first will be on September 16, a Friday evening with a scheduled conversation between the Museum Director and Jeffrey Deitch, Director of the LA Museum of Contemporary Art.
