The reader to which I was referring, is the entire system, to include the server-side processing. If it's able to create a searchable db of political standings, we should assume it's able to trim excess characters.
However, I'm not telling you what to do at all. I don't know how they operate; I'm just making assumptions based on what they said and my knowledge of the processes used. Basically, just adding to the general knowledge pool, so someone smarter than I will have more data to make a more informed decision.
The article gave me the opposite impression. Basically their database contains lawn signs and bumper stickers on accident - they save all images where text is found but they keep it just in case it had a license plate (because they aren’t sure what is or isn’t a license plate). These kinds of databases are so massive there’s little to no human eyes on images. Anyway I don’t think it would be very hard to send garbage into their database.
