Some years ago, Pussy Riot put out information on how to use Makeup to confound face detection algorithms.

On an unrelated note: This is probably going to be blocked in ML because I used the word "pussy". I wonder why that instance has a problem with me mentioning that word. Could it be perhaps the name of a feminist anarchist group activity resisting domestic Russian oppression? No, I'm sure that's a coincidence.

Edit: Ty to everyone who helped correct my misunderstanding. The feedback has been informative, but I'll leave my comment as-is so people reading have context incase they also have misconceptions.

    I'm on ML and can read your comment without a problem. Let's see if I can type it.

    Pussy Riot

    EDIT: No problem there.

    AFAIK .ml doesn’t automatically block comments from other instances containing slurs, they only automatically block slurs from being posted by their own users.

    Yeah, .ml blocks all words potentially used as slurs so people don't mention one band, lol

    Not true. Here is the regex doing the blocking: slur_filter_regex: https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/site

    It's not exactly secret.
