How to fix it
Blur faces and remove names of private people you criticize or prank, get consent, and avoid ranking or mocking strangers.
Good to know
Private individuals and minors get much more protection than public figures; several protections apply only when the target reports. Prank videos on strangers and 'rate these people' content are common hits. Condemning or awareness context is allowed.
