This is one of those things that might give you a warm fussy about your security, but in actuality turn out insanely difficult to implement and to do very little to keep the hard core hackers out. How can text recognition program secure things client side like any combination of numbers formatted as a social security number or block an entire paragraph because it contains information on financials?
Plus, even if it could do that somehow, people are smarter then machines, we can figure out what is being said by context. If I describe the intricate details of a sexual harassment suit against an employee, what protection will blocking the names have if the victim is a co-worker I know?
This just seems fishy. Does anyone else have experience with similar technology or see a need for this?
