The odd thing is that in each of street scenes I've looked at adults'
faces tend to be blurred, childrens' faces are not.


It seems to me that they blur things that look circular, including the
hubcaps on cars. Maybe a lot of childrens faces are more oval than their
algorithm can cope with.


I'm sure I read somewhere that their "algorithm" consists of paying
people less than the minimum wage to stare at images on-line and click
on the faces.
