To be fair, there are many humans who talk this way too, but point taken.

Thwarted in what sense? The vast majority of users on the planet blindly accept fine location permissions for every single app, I think that will make most users of this tech happy enough.

For me it means getting a different FP ID on every page refresh, so it never thinks you are the same visitor. I’ve never seen the tests hang at the end, I assume there is something unique it’s doing that is different from other browsers.

Even if it was inspectable content, there are other ways to hide content such as steganography.
- refalo@programming.devtoPrivacy@programming.dev•KYC now uses WiFi positioning instead of IP geolocation.2·4 days ago
The technology works by measuring the time of flight or signal strength between a user’s device and multiple nearby WiFi routers
All of that can still be spoofed, and there’s no guarantee any other wifi routers are within range. Some adapters won’t even background scan at all while you’re connected to a station already. Not to mention information like that is not accessible in the first place unless you’re running a real app outside the browser.

Without the key, the server operator:
-
can’t know if the content being reported actually exists
-
can’t know if the content should actually be removed or not

It is absolutely feasible if you do it the way I described above

Because you’re right that decoding the QR codes definitely does seem too slow to do it in real time
I assumed this meant you wanted to do it in real-time, but perhaps I was mistaken.

Based on the real-time performance goal you have, a shell script calling external programs millions of times will have no chance.
You can do QR encode/decode of video data in real-time like you want, but it’s going to require (most likely) using a compiled language instead of an interpreted one, and also you’re going to need to buffer the video frames and/or QR codes in memory instead of via files on a (slow) disk.
The end result should be able to stream data directly from one format to another without creating any intermediate files at all.
Perhaps you can use some of that information to steer your AI.
and that’s still not enough. thanks Flock
