抗議工具:怎樣保持匿名
現在,美國和世界範圍內的城市聚集在一起,團結一致地為弗洛伊德(George Floyd)的死亡事件進行遊行示威,反對種族主義和警察濫用暴力的行為。
當社交媒體和社會正義在這個採取行動的時刻匯合,本期Show and Tell展示的資源可以為我們在公共平臺上分享圖像時幫助保持抗議者的匿名身份。
當你參與遊行或者守夜活動時,你也許情不自禁地想要記錄你所目睹的那一時刻,不管是為了表示自己的團結,還是為了揭示眼前發生的一切的真實面目。如果你打算分享圖片,請留心你周圍的人。為了保證你的夥伴的安全,請考慮使用以下由我們的同盟者所創作的工具來把人臉模糊化,並刪除具有暴露性的數據。
1. Everest Pipkin 的《圖像洗滌器》
第一個資源是Everest Pipkin的《圖像洗滌器》(Image Scrubber),它可以刪除你的照片中的EXIF元數據,並且將人臉模糊化。

元數據是儲藏在圖像中的一些標籤,能夠顯示照片拍攝的地點、時間,以及拍攝設備。該信息可以將你與一場遊行或者違反宵禁的時間聯繫在一起。你也可以使用圖像洗滌器來模糊人臉,或者直接在照片上進行塗畫來增加安全性。
你可以通過桌上型電腦、手機,或者在脫機模式中使用《圖像洗滌器》。Pipkin說:「所有的計算處理都直接在瀏覽器中進行—你的信息不會被儲藏或者發送至其它地方。」
這是一個在Github上的開源項目,允許並鼓勵合作和改良。掃描以下的二維碼進入《圖像洗滌器》:
2. Xach Branch 的 Body Blur
Xach Branch創作的Body Blur是專門為Instagram用戶設計的人臉編輯器,介於Instagram已成為分享關於遊行的信息和影像的最重要平臺之一。
Body Blur將鏡頭中所有人的身體和臉整體地模糊化, 可以應用在手機的前置和後置攝像頭,以及Instagram Live。這個應用不會自動刪除元數據,但它含有如何刪除該數據的指示:你可以直接上傳照片的截屏,或者原影像的屏幕錄製。

Protest Tools for Anonymity
Cities across the United States and places beyond have come together to show solidarity in the protests for George Floyd, and to show outrage in the face of racial injustice.
As social media and social justice converge at this time of action, find the resources in this Show and Tell helpful to maintain anonymity and protect protestors when sharing images.
As you attend a vigil or protest, you might feel compelled to document it, in order to show solidarity, or to show the real face of what’s happening. If you do share images, be mindful of those around you. To keep your friends safe, use these tools created by allies to blur faces and delete revealing data.
1. Everest Pipkin's Image Scrubber
The first resource, Image Scrubber by Everest Pipkin effectively scrubs your photo of Exif metadata and blurs faces.
Metadata is information stored in images that show the location, time and on what device the image was taken. This information can be used to tie you to a protest or a time past curfew. You can also use Image Scrubber to blur faces, or paint over them for added security.
Image Scrubber can be accessed via your desktop computer or phone and used offline. The creator says: 「All processing happens directly in the browser—no information is stored or sent anywhere.」
This is an open resource project on Github, allowing for collaboration and improvement.
Please scan the QR code above to access Image Scrubber.
2. Xach Branch's Body Blur
Body Blur by Xach Branch is a face filter to be used on Instagram, which has become a tool to share information and footage from the protests.
Body Blur blurs the body and face of everyone in frame, and can be used on both the front and back camera, and IG live. It does not remove metadata, but comes with instructions on how to do so, by posting screenshots or screen recordings of original footage.
Please scan the QR code to use Body Blur on Instagram.
Utilize these tools created by allies to stay safe. We at Special Special think they are strong examples of individuals using their specific skills to help.
At Special Special, the team has compiled a list of resources to help, and to make change.
Whether you are in a position to donate money or time, you can find trusted organizations to interact with here.
Most of these resources have originally been shared by our extended community, and we are grateful for all those who share information and resources.
Black Lives Matter.
Stay safe.
