YouTube Adds Face Blurring

YouTube can turn anyone with a camera into an eyewitness reporter, but that can be a problem when the subjects of the video need to stay anonymous.

To address this issue, YouTube has added a face blurring option to the site’s built-in photo editor. When users apply the option, YouTube tries to detect and blur all faces automatically. The option appears under “Additional Features” in YouTube’s Video Enhancements tool.
