I love this space and I keep wanting to share photos of outfits I have put together, but I don't know how to do that in a way that protects my privacy ... It seems like a lot of effort to use software to edit the photos to make them safe to share, for example.
I was wanting to check with the community and see how women solve this problem generally, and maybe brainstorm a list of ideas of ways to safely share selfies / photos, here were some ideas I had:
- take photos with neutral backgrounds that don't disclose private information (e.g. location)
- use something like an emoji to cover up face
- find a way to share the photo in a password protected way (with what service?), and only distribute the password to users you trust (unclear on the logistics here)
- share the photo with an expiration feature, e.g. allowing only a certain number of times to view it (Signal has a feature like this) or that expires after some amount of time
Was wondering how you all find online spaces for women where it's safe to share outfits.
I know on Reddit, some of the subreddits for finding a good bra make every post a spoiler, making it harder for prurient men to easily browse and preview photos, etc.
There's already ObscuraCam meant for AI detecting and pixelating/redacting/eyeglasses-and-mustache-afying faces, and scrubbing metadata. Unfortunately it no longer works as a camera (at least for me), and options for other emojis would be great. But if you could contribute to that (been abandoned for a few years though still listed on Guardian Project's page), it could be useful for mass photos too.

Hm, that is a good idea. I was thinking more on the server side. I think the big issue is how you can trust the person who packaged the app, the person who runs the server, and so on... the economy of how we decide who gets to make up the code that gets to run our stuff and what their incentives are, and how much control and transparency we have into it, is basically just fucked.
