2. Google can now perfectly remove watermarks on stock photos
At the 2017 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference, Google presented research on software that can accurately and automatically remove watermarks from photos.

As a follow-up, the company came up with a safer kind of watermarks, with slight shifts from one to the other, making it impossible for the software to remove them, at least for now.
