One of the things I wondered when I read this story is if it would be possible to develop software that would somehow circumvent this type of situation. For example, using autoencoding or something to lose watermarking details intentionally or something. But what you're discussing seems more advanced than the yellow dots idea.

I was surprised to see printers being involved--I thought something like this leak would all be digital. I was also surprised that the Intercept would not be more savvy about printer identification because it's been publicized so much over the years.
