When uploading a real recording, there is a good chance your location & therefore possibly your identity can be revealed from the footage itself.

  1. You can triangulate low volume background sounds such as air planes: https://cybernews.com/privacy/aircraft-doppler-audio-geolocation-privacy/

  2. You can check the position of the sun/moon/stars, shadows, weather...: https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2020/12/03/using-the-sun-and-the-shadows-for-geolocation/

If Streamers & Journalists CAN do it, government agencies ARE doing it.

If you need privacy be aware of this when recording / editing friends <3

We need user friendly video scrubbing software to remove or at least identify tracking risks as the tools to find them are going to keep getting better.

    This can also be combined with the sound of the grid, or mains power, to figure out a general location and an exact time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0elNU0iOMY
