They probably have a machine that trawls the internet for mentions of itself, then extracts the IP of whoever posted them, builds a profile on their entire web activity, links it to all the personally identifiable information that can be found on them online, then hacks into their devices and starts recording them through their own camera, mic, wifi, etc., and possibly mails them a brand new pager with custom modifications.
So yeah, can't really blame the OOP for censoring the acronym...
I mean maybe they do have enough compute to run OCR with character-correction on every image format file on the internet. If we're just speculating then we might as well speculate about that.
But like, seatbelts don't prevent every death. We still wear them though, because the reduction of risk is still significant.
The fact is, catching an acronym appearing in images requires a much larger funnel than catching it in plaintext. And catching it with a white line through it on those images requires a larger funnel than without.
It reduces the attack surface. Maybe there's still an attack surface, but if it's much smaller then it's still worth it.
You may aswell just censor it better, as said, Google's OCR can easly detect it (i just tested lmao) it wouldn't be hard at all for them to get the OCR text and scan for acronyms if they have enough resources
Yeah but the point is that trawling the entire internet and scanning every single image with OCR would take way more compute than just scanning particular images on demand which is what happens when you test it on google.
Not sure why people are downvoting this explaination. OP saw a thing online they wanted to share. So they shared it as they found it. If someone is so upset that they need to downvote, go find the creator of the image, who censored it, and go downvote them instead.
Whilst fear seems to be used to induce hate in many (just listen to the fables of "we need to protect ourselves" coming from the politicians there), I'm pretty sure others just directly hate without the need to be led there through fear.
It's fear. I don't think they're lying about why they are doing this, as absurd as it seems. They (being the administration, just to be clear) believe that they must wipe out Islam (and I guess Christianity) to prevent being genocided themselves. It's a weird outcome of the Nazi genocide, that the attitude in Israel is basically "it wouldn't have happened if I were there", but the corollary to that is "because I'd do it to everyone else".
That's not how we live. I can't plan to kill my neighbour because I'm reasoning that they're planning to kill me (because I'm planning to kill them, after all). That's insane.
Btw, that's also the Nazi train of thought. That's what "the great replacement" theory is about, that Jews are planning to dilute the white race or whatever, and the only solution is genocide. It's a concocted fear.
Predator would have to murder them, their mother, their relatives, and then take photos in the mother's lingerie to be the kind of asshole we've seen posted online.
" The children, the children people always go on about the children. See the problem with letting them live is they grow up to resent you and you have to kill them anyways!!!"
You'll see them respond two ways. Either they will argue a child can pull a trigger the same as an adult or that a child today is a soldier tomorrow. Ultimately they see them like any perpetrator of any genocide sees their victim, as a disease. Mental separation is really the only way people can cause harm to one another. We don't kill father's with children in war, we kill the enemy. The language around every genocide essentially revolves around the other group being a disease. They aren't men, women, and children, they are rats or cockroaches or something to that effect.
Eh the yautja have a codex they have to adhere to and for most it is considered cannon that it's not ok to kill children or unarmed ppl https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Yautja_Honor_Code
Also kinda dumb. There has been an effort made to make toy guns easily recognizable as toys because there's always issues when people are running around that appear to be armed.
We know that you it's a good thing to make it easily identifiable who is armed and who is not. So why doesn't Hamas wear uniforms in combat to reduce civilian casualties? We see them wearing uniforms in their propaganda videos and when they're out intimidating the local Palestinian population to maintain power. They have uniforms, but they don't wear them in combat when it would prevent civilians from being targeted.

We're censoring IDF now?

I doubt censoring stops it, though.
My same response to the other comments applies here too:
Yeah but even google lens can understand what's written, imagine if their tech couldn't lmao
Scanning every jpeg on the internet with OCR would require far more compute than simply doing a regex for plaintext.
Also that white line can really fuck with most lightweight OCRs
Yeah but we are following their theory so i guess we just ignore that for now (I know it's stupid and would take so much processing power)

Sure, but drawing a thin white line across a jpeg wouldn't stop that
I'll just copy/paste my reply to a different comment:
Yeah, it just ‘extracts’ the IP from the username.
I didn't say they extract it from the username...
I assumed it was a shitpost thing. Like the whole bri*ish meme that made the rounds for a hot second like a year ago.
sarcastically: clean it up jannie!!
I found the OG in my list of memes for those that care
Because OP still believes they arent on a list...
Also more ethical than most US police departments.
Birds of a feather
Flock camera together. 😅
Really? We have to censor IDF now?
It was already like this when I found it.
Not sure why people are downvoting this explaination. OP saw a thing online they wanted to share. So they shared it as they found it. If someone is so upset that they need to downvote, go find the creator of the image, who censored it, and go downvote them instead.
I will downvote posts that contain the censoring ragebait wherever they're posted actually
"I will be baited by the ragebait every time, and you can't stop me!"
Weird, but okay
It's commenting that is getting baited. I do that too, but it's on Lemmy so who cares.
I'll uncensor an image myself or I won't repost it at all.
Predators are warriors. The IDF and current Israeli administration is pretty fundamentally driven by fear.
I think you misspelled the word "hate".
They hate what they fear. Deep down they’re all cowards.
Whilst fear seems to be used to induce hate in many (just listen to the fables of "we need to protect ourselves" coming from the politicians there), I'm pretty sure others just directly hate without the need to be led there through fear.

Can't tell from the censor—does it say IDF or US police officer when dealing black children?
corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures
They are the same picture
It's actually IOF
Uncensor that shit asap
Predator would have to murder them, their mother, their relatives, and then take photos in the mother's lingerie to be the kind of asshole we've seen posted online.
But also stalk their father until he comes home before killing them all, to then say it was self defense.
IDF sees a child and shoots. The gun is not necessary
Well not surprised IDF thinks children pose a threat. You have to be a special type of coward to kill children.
" The children, the children people always go on about the children. See the problem with letting them live is they grow up to resent you and you have to kill them anyways!!!"
Netanyahu
I'm at a crossroads. I want to upvote for the message, but the self-censorship text scribbles can fuck right off.
Especially on a platform like lemmy. Stop using platforms that you think require stupid stuff like that. Also fuck the IDF.
You'll see them respond two ways. Either they will argue a child can pull a trigger the same as an adult or that a child today is a soldier tomorrow. Ultimately they see them like any perpetrator of any genocide sees their victim, as a disease. Mental separation is really the only way people can cause harm to one another.

FYI the phenomenon is called dehumanization
I'm aware. I find sometimes wrapping things up in a single word doesn't get the full story across.
Sometimes it's like a more elegant word isn't as impactful. Say it in a fresh way to get people to reassess something they're used to.
But many in the IDF are the type of predators who target children.
this belongs in Lemmy Noshitsherlockpost
Was that ever in question? Yautja care about honor.
Omg this isn't a shitpost wtf
Also ICE.
Is this a shit post? Like it made me chuckle and it's political. Either way GJ
Get this quality content the fuck out of my shitpost. OP put in wayyyy too much effort.
I'm not sure it's ethics so much as survival.
Sure, the predator COULD kill the harmless child, but that wastes time that could be spent hunting actual threats.
Lets see how predator handles the kid AFTER all threats have been eliminated.
Eh the yautja have a codex they have to adhere to and for most it is considered cannon that it's not ok to kill children or unarmed ppl https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Yautja_Honor_Code
If they have a cannon, then they're not unarmed.
Depends if they can operate it
Wait......that's a huge flaw.
So basically the best way to kill preditors is with wooden spears. They won't see it as being armed, but absolutely it could kill one.
Watch Prey.
Well their big flaw is always hubris
Where the bean at?
Recycled meme.
Also kinda dumb. There has been an effort made to make toy guns easily recognizable as toys because there's always issues when people are running around that appear to be armed.

complaint about american politics
looks inside
israeli politics
Who started the genocide case against israel again? oh yeah, SOUTH AFRICA.
This is global.
Stop making everything about america, i'm not even american.
Not sure why i even bother responding as you are an obvious troll but here:
Even if we accept that as true, then its israeli-south african-russian politics, still not american politics.
But you are probably going to make it about america anyway and at that point you can make everything about america...
Ah ha! So it's Russian politics!
yeah i regret saying american, i should have stuck with politics my bad
What a fucking sentence lmfao
American?
You’re the one bringing up America, dipshit.
<.< I think you need to read that again.
