Obligate social medias to cover the faces of whoever wishes to.

The Issue

Nowadays privacy has become a rare treasure to be found and a future concern for new generations. Moments can be quite easily shared to the net, bringing fun and productiveness, but also disrupting the right to privacy more and more by exposing our identities to third parties, such as big companies who see a person as mere merchandise, to bullies awaiting for the bad moments or even to criminals that can have access to facial recognition software, not to mention the increasing amount of predators who use social medias as their catalogue of victims. Take for example, that some authorities use this technology along with the info that is to be found in social media for citizens surveillance, but they do it widely noticeable. In contrast, social media companies do it to sell us around.

Fake profiles can be created very easily and fake news can be propagated even more easily, convoking to a tremendous riot or an unfair lynching; Think very about it that it is a matter of time that anyone of us can have access to facial recognition and face swap softwares and apply it to suggest ourselves the best fashion that better fit us, but it is a matter of now to start setting the standards for the use of that technology in order to protect the rights and the lives of everyone.

This petition ask for social media companies to cover the faces in pictures (and in videos if possible) of every underage person that hasn't concede to appear online and every other person who wishes so, be it whether with a stamp or a blur or a publication blockage, that are unlocked until the real person consents.
