When uploading a real recording, there is a good chance your location & therefore possibly your identity can be revealed from the footage itself.
You can triangulate low volume background sounds such as air planes: https://cybernews.com/privacy/aircraft-doppler-audio-geolocation-privacy/
You can check the position of the sun/moon/stars, shadows, weather…: https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2020/12/03/using-the-sun-and-the-shadows-for-geolocation/
If Streamers & Journalists CAN do it, government agencies ARE doing it.
If you need privacy be aware of this when recording / editing friends <3
This can also be combined with the sound of the grid, or mains power, to figure out a general location and an exact time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0elNU0iOMY
dang guess every micro sound is too much!
Guess it’s wise to mix random airplanes from other feeds and birds from other countries into the background
haha love the idea ;)
And thunderstorms
Wow! Guess that falls under “weather” :)
