In my history class we were given the task of taking an image with personal information or faces that should not be viewable. the reason that i chose this image was for a couple of reasons. One, the fact that these people are dealing with thinking that COVID is a hoax is reason enough to not want to be seen. two, there is a child in this picture that is clearly underage and this should have been blurred out no matter what due to that. I understand protesting and standing up for your rights but as soon as someone gets this information in a picture we have to make sure as an archivist that we take the proper steps to conceal peoples identities without their consent.
