It will identify images with a red, yellow or green light. Red means the program is 100% sure the JPEG file is modified and green when the program is 100% sure the JPEG file isn’t modified. The Yellow… well thats when it doesn’t really know for sure if the JPEG is modified or not and most likely that will happen with most of the JPEGs when using this program..

Way to expensive for something that will most likely will only be used by… I don’t know…. no one?….

I will not even discuss these so called “studies” that link a change in a society to a product (in this case advertising) which is in on itself a reflection of this very change in society. It is impossible to state to any meaningful level of certainty, that images contribute to a harmful transformation of ones self-image, if there is no way at all to exclude the influence of the way this new “ideal of beauty” is handled in society.
I’m so glad that there won’t be another case of anorexia nervosa as soon as there is a warning labeln on all glamour magazines.

The typical human response to pass blame to an external source than to seek a solution from within.

It is absurd that anyone would think that altering the content of the beauty industry will by pure magic stop humans from finding reasons to discriminate against each other.
