This law badly needs to be updated to account for the fact that photo/video resolutions have massively increased since it was written, and "not the focus of a picture" is no longer enough to prevent you from being identified/tracked in the picture, which was the original intent.

Have you seen the cameras on cell phones compared to the cameras of yesterday? Resolutions are up but faked through software. A 640 picture from 2004 can be enlarged with clearer detail compared to a 2000px of today always looking sharp but never truly capturing a clear picture.
