Error404
People post photos right and left on social media. But institutions such as Facebook, Google and Microsoft keep track of our data, and store and analyze it for their own benefit. The Scramble Rapp gives control over images back to the user. The app makes the data you put on line unreadable for the algorithms that Facebook uses. And with the same app – which can only be used by human beings – your your friends can still make your photos recognizable.
