1) The code, for now, runs locally. This is good. To avoid the possibility of the code being tampered with at a later day (for example, it could be modified to send copies of the image to a server), download the webpage and use the saved copy, not the live copy.
2) Do not use the blur functionality. For maximum privacy, this should be removed from the app entirely. There are _a lot_ of forensic methods to reverse blur techniques.
3) Be weary of other things in the photograph that might identify someone: reflections, shadows, so on.
4) Really a subset of 2 and 3, but be aware that blocking out faces is often times not sufficient to anonymise the subject in the photo. Identifying marks like tattoos, or even something as basic as the shoes they are wearing, can be used to identify the target.
Any examples? You can't reverse it if the data is gone.
Then again, maybe groups of people can be associated together, and a poor match is good enough given other clues.
So, much better to be safe than sorry.
I'm not sure if I had a particular good point to make, other than that blurring does remove information that cannot easily be reversed. You can probably make very convincing reconstructions, but they might not look like the original person.
diminished in power.
It's only gone if it goes below the quantization threshold. Depends on the filter.
