I 100% agree about vetting things before sharing them, and I said so.

I also agree about not having to edit photos you want to check on AI scanners. But I think this is something that needs to be taken on a case by case situation. I can understand this case because the pixelation would throw off the scan. And pixelation, in general, is important for privacy reasons, so I think an exception could be made for it.

Thanks for your two cents on the subject. It was a bargain.
