Thanks for building a tool that will hopefully help the public hold government forces accountable!

As the deployed version is a public website, it could send your unscrubbed images to a server, exposing people in the photos as well as your IP, browser fingerprint, etc.

More discussions & background info on privacy implications can be found in the corresponding HN thread.

Closing this as we've implemented most of these suggestions. :)
