Hidden "Signature" in Online Photos Could Help Nab Child Abusers
http://j.mp/1jMjH7D (Scientific American)
"Police may soon have a new way to catch pedophiles who distribute
child abuse photos anonymously online. The technology could also help
law enforcement agencies in other ways, such as identifying smartphone
thieves who take pictures with the stolen gadgets and then post their
snapshots on the Internet."

As usual, the example used is "child abusers" -- not oppressive
governments trying to locate citizens posting embarrassing photos, or
copyright enforcement.
