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.
We’re censoring IDF now?
I found the OG in my list of memes for those that care
Because OP still believes they isnt on a list…

Yeah, it just ‘extracts’ the IP from the username.
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:
I doubt censoring stops it, though.
My same response to the other comments applies here too:
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!!
