Video website YouTube unveiled on Wednesday a way for users to automatically blur human faces in videos they upload, a feature that would help protect the identities of political dissidents, YouTube parent Google Inc said.
In recent months YouTube has hosted dozens of videos from the rebellion in Syria, often uploaded by rebels seeking to publicize their struggle. But the videos have also revealed the identity of rebel fighters.

The feature also allows for the original copy of the uploaded video to be deleted. Videos may also be kept private.
"YouTube is proud to be a destination where people worldwide come to share their stories, including activists," YouTube said.
