ADVERSARIAL IMAGE PREPARATION, PROCESSING AND/OR DISTRIBUTION

1 . A method, the method comprising:

storing in a storage device, a first record including information relating to an obfuscation program;

intentionally distorting first content, including a first image or audio, to produce distorted content which is inaccurate content, said distorted content including multiple different modified versions of the first content; and

providing different modified versions of the first content to different content distribution destinations.

2 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein intentionally distorting the first content includes generating multiple different distorted images from the first image; and

wherein providing different modified versions of the first content to different content distribution destinations includes distributing different modified versions of the first image at different times to different websites.

3 . The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the first record includes said different modified versions of the first content, said different modified versions of the first content including a first modified image and a second modified image.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing in said first record user image distortion preference information indicating a first type of image distortion to be applied to content, corresponding to a first user, to be distributed to a first website; and

wherein said step of intentionally distorting the first content includes performing the first type of image distortion on the first content when generating a modified image to be distributed to the first website.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein said first content is received with information indicating the intended group or web site to which the content is to be distributed and information indicating a user to which the first content corresponds.

6 . The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the first record corresponds to the first user and is a first user record; and

wherein the method further comprises:

using the group or web site to which the content is to be distributed to identify information included in the first user record that is to be used to control the type of distortion to be applied to the first content to generate a modified version of the first image for distribution to the first website.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first content includes a first image, the method further comprising:

generating an obfuscation plan corresponding to said first image, said obfuscation plan including information indicating when and where to distribute different modified versions of said first image.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first content includes a first image corresponding to a first individual or object; and wherein the method further comprises:

performing a search to determine a number of publicly available accurate images corresponding to the first individual or object to which the first image corresponds; and

determining a number of distorted images to generate and distribute based on the determined number of publicly available accurate images corresponding to the first individual or object, said determined number of distorted images being greater than the determined number of publicly available accurate images.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

determining a period of time over which to distribute generated distorted images corresponding to the first image.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

generating said number of distorted images as part of said step of intentionally distorting first content; and

distributing at least some of said generated distorted images to different web sites at different times.

11 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising: posting different distorted images generated from the first content to different web sites as part of providing different modified versions of the first content to different content distribution destinations.

12 . A system for processing first content including a first image or audio, the system comprising:

memory storing said first content and a first record including information relating to an obfuscation program; and

a processor configured to:

intentionally distort the first content to produce distorted content which is inaccurate content, said distorted content including multiple different modified versions of the first content; and

control the system to provide different modified versions of the first content to different content distribution destinations.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein intentionally distorting at least some content includes generating multiple different distorted images from the first image; and

wherein being configured to control the system to provide different modified versions of the first content to different content distribution destinations being configured to control the system to distribute different modified versions of the first image at different times to different websites.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the first record further includes said different modified versions of the first content, said different modified versions of the first content including a first modified image and a second modified image.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said step of intentionally distorting content making it more difficult to identify an individual or object to which the first image or audio corresponds from the distorted content than from the content from which the distorted content was processed.

16 . The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the first record further includes planed distribution information for the first modified image indicating when the first modified image is to be distributed; and

wherein the first record further includes planned distribution information for the second modified image indicating when the second modified image is to be distributed.

17 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the indicated type of modification includes one of: altering of facial feature spacing, rotation of a facial feature or feature replacement.

18 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the user image distortion preference information included in the first record further includes information indicating a level of first type of image distortion to be applied to content, corresponding to a first user.

19 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first content is audio content; and

wherein intentionally distorting first content includes altering a speech rate.

20 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first content is audio content; and

wherein intentionally distorting first content includes replacing a portion of the first content with machine generated speech.
