Can I post video of public figures without permission?
Reposting and street footage can violate copyright *and* privacy—two separate strike paths.
Upload a clean master with faces/plates addressed once; algorithmic crops won’t protect edges for you.

How rules usually differ by region (plain English)
| United States | United Kingdom | EU / GDPR lens | Canada | Australia | New Zealand | Singapore | India (DPDP-era framing) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Platform Terms + state privacy torts + publicity rights dominate practical risk. | Online harms and harassment routes matter when tagging or amplifying identifiable people. | GDPR complaints can target publishers and sometimes platforms depending on role. | PIPEDA complaints and provincial torts can follow viral resharing of identifiable third parties. | OAIC complaints and defamation risk rise with viral resharing. | Harmful digital communications and privacy principles both matter for pile-on posts. | PDPC guidance and platform policies can move faster than courts for doxxing-adjacent shares. | Intermediary rules and DPDP complaints are evolving—minimize identifiers up front. |
What the law is usually worried about
Social platforms enforce their own rules faster than courts. Even when criminal law is unclear, Community Guidelines strikes are common for identifiable third parties without consent.
What can go wrong if you skip redaction
Strikes, account restrictions, and removals—plus interpersonal or civil disputes. Edit before upload, not after viral spread.
BGBlur supports MP4, MOV, M4V, AVI, MKV and common image formats—see the tool for current free-tier limits.
Pourquoi le flou avec suivi compte
Les masques manuels lâchent quand une plaque brille, qu’un visage tourne ou que la caméra panoramique est rapide. BGBlur ancre le réglage sur la détection pour des clips traités en minutes.
Flouter avant de publier
Les questions juridiques ont souvent une réponse pragmatique : réduire les pixels identifiables avant diffusion. BGBlur est fait pour ce dernier kilomètre dans le navigateur.
Réponses structurées et FAQ
Les pages qui répondent d’abord, puis détaillent avec tableaux et vraies questions, se citent mieux pour les lecteurs et les aperçus IA. La recherche GEO (Princeton, 2024) relie FAQ claires, chiffres et citations à une meilleure visibilité—notamment le bourrage de mots-clés.
Comment ça marche
- Téléversez une vidéo (MP4, MOV, M4V, AVI, MKV) ou des images (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF).
- Choisissez le flou—visages, plaques, arrière-plan, objets ou prompt—et prévisualisez les pistes.
- Exportez en HD et publiez où vous voulez ; les fichiers ne sont pas conservés après traitement.
Avantages pour ce cas
- Answer-first guide: what creators usually worry about, then jurisdictions, then the practical fix (face blur).
- Motion-tracked blur so masks follow faces and plates through real handheld footage—not a single static box.
- No account required for the core upload → preview → export path.
Des chiffres concrets (formats, rétention) aident à vérifier les affirmations.
