      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…

          My same response to the other comments applies here too:

          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 even google lens can understand what’s written, imagine if their tech couldn’t lmao

            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)

              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

          I’ll just copy/paste my reply to a different comment:

      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.

        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.

    Can’t tell from the censor—does it say IDF or US police officer when dealing black children?

    Predators are warriors. The IDF and current Israeli administration is pretty fundamentally driven by 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.

          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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Many of us noticed that detail at the time, but it’s important to bring it up whenever we deal with inhumane fuckfaces.
