Yeah because they are blurring out faces to cover up any crimes committed by the people shown in the videos

Except law enforcement already has all the tapes, it's all for theatre.

People would definitely use these tapes to identify new people to charge or otherwise publicly shame.

Those groups of people already have archived footage from the Jan. 6 insurrectionist who thought it was a good idea to vlog a felony. Is also a lot of footage from people/journalists that have footage knowing it would be useful to identify these people later on. The GOP blurring face on video is just show, and they will never actually release all the footage because at some point they will need the intern working on it for something else, and their base won't know/care anyway.

And that hurts the sedition hunters. Bad deal for all of us.
