Web images to get expiration date (BBC)

[eppur_se_muova]

Help is at hand for anyone who has ever forgotten about embarrassing images they posted to a social network or website.

German researchers have created software called X-Pire that gives images an expiration date by tagging them with an encrypted key.

Once this date has passed the key stops the images being viewed and copied.

Creators plan to levy a small charge to use the tagging system and put a digital lock on digital pictures.

Viewing these images requires the free X-Pire browser add-on. Currently only a version that works with Firefox is available. Those without the viewer will be unable to see any protected image.

1. There's an urban myth that, when you get a dick pic from a Republican Congressman...

It keeps shrinking, over time, until it's life-size and you can't see it anyway.

2. I have a better idea: If you don't want the embarrassing picture there in a year...

don't post it at all.
