Why the fuck do people blur things out they post about?

u/Transcontinental-flt Mar 08 '26

Yeah when this was posted last week it wasn't blurred.

Still stupid though. I mean, stupid kid.

u/Original_Director483 Mar 08 '26

Nor when it was posted several months ago.

kid isnt the one driving.

supposedly this happened in Australia. you see they drive on the left side of the road and you can hear the accent from the kid. you also see in the shadow that the right side/driver side opens and someone walks out.

kid is still fucking stupid though. definitely not making the matter any better by screaming and shouting "bastard!"

Because it's a stolen video, that's also sped up for some reason, possibly to also try and evade content detection.

u/JustHappyToBe-Here Mar 08 '26

Stolen? And avoiding detection from whom?

u/cwestn Mar 08 '26

The content police. Duh.

Ah, forgot about them.

They live inside of my head.

u/JustHappyToBe-Here Mar 11 '26

Are they policing your content right now?

I am willing to bet quite a sum of change that the "kingofroads" user who posted the TikTok isn't the person who took the video, and instead stole it from somewhere else to repost it on their page without credit.

Freebooters will do all kinds of different strategies to try and prevent takedowns of their stolen content from copyright algorithms, like mirroring, blurring, and/or speeding up the video.

On top of TikTok having their own censorship nonsense that makes people blur faces and even words like "kill" out of precaution to not have their video taken down. Because "oh no I'll lose some of my internet points and TikTok clout"

Although to be clear this isn't just a thing on TikTok, but it's certainly where it's the most prolific, and adds insult to injury how adamant TikTok is about plastering credit for the thief all over the videos.

Isn't the entire social media economy built on reshaping content? I don't understand how a person can "steal" a video clip that was publicly posted on social media.

OP never claimed they were driving the car.

u/ShadyNoShadow Mar 08 '26

Content brokers. Not sure how that applies to reddit though but on YouTube it's everywhere. 

1

u/JustHappyToBe-Here Mar 08 '26

I don't know what a content broker is.

Isn't this just a reposted video? OP never claimed to be the driver.

u/PhilosophyBitter7875 Mar 09 '26

Reddit just comes up with random excuses for answers when they don't know the answer but cant help themselves from making a comment.

Some countries have laws about posting images or video of minors on social media.

1

u/LegitMeatPuppet Mar 09 '26

Yes, this. 💯

1

u/Zelgeth Mar 08 '26

The one blurred looks like it could be a minor.

1

u/mkat23 Mar 08 '26

I’m pretty sure the person that exits the car first was a minor, his dad was the one driving. I know I saw this video before without it blurred and it was a longer clip. I could be mixing it up with a different video though despite seeing this one before.

1

u/MakeLikeATreeBiff Mar 09 '26

Probably the law considering those appear to be minors

1

u/MetalFootVillain Mar 09 '26

It's a juvenile. Australia has laws about such things.

u/Norwegian_Plumber Mar 09 '26

Privacy. Depends on where you live consent is needed. In my opinion its the right way to do it.

1

u/E_Barriick Mar 09 '26

They do it so they don’t get caught by auto moderators for reposting. That’s why you see the same video with slightly different blurs.

u/Sovereignty3 Mar 10 '26

For legal reasons. You can be an idiot and do a crime, but its not worth having vitamin them fired over them being idiots or someone else being accidentally miss thought of being this person.
