It’s a god’s or a demigod’s house. I can imagine how they might look at human tech if they think they have or should have authority over humans because they are more powerful.
Well, if the paranormals have a superior image-capture technology, they're unlikely to allow a mere human to learn enough about it to use it effectively.
Eh, we've already seen plenty of humans (and people who were originally thought to be humans) who are fully aware of paranormalness going on around them. Besides, several thousand years ago this sort of technology was part of normal human technology, so if the picture was from, say, 10060 BC then it could be done by a normal human!
"Hey, lookit this! Mom posted pics on Parabook! Here she's holding a drink with a lady faun!"
That whole story arc, which ended on the page you linked, and which started here, was the one that had me the most impressed about Castela. Sure, she has a great and powerful power set, and sure, she can be loyal as can be, but this arc, in which she goes to the library to find out what happened to Atsali's parents, in order to be able to better help her sister cope with abandonment, was the one that had me marvel at her fortitude and determination. She wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer, and she was going to get to the bottom of this. Even as events were unfolding in the Q room, a room for which she did not understand the functioning, she tried to help and protect, only to find out that she was a helpless witness to past events. She did find out what happened, and she did find out that she and Atsali had been together for far longer than what she remembered, and that even back then, the two cared for each other. That whole arc was simply brilliant!Catawampus wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2019 6:31 am"Hey, lookit this! Mom posted pics on Parabook! Here she's holding a drink with a lady faun!"

Or there's a cat in the tree. Some court has ruled that pets have privacy rights and Google Maps has to blur them out of the Street View pictures. That's why there are so many blurred windows in Street View. Or maybe it was a squirrel in the witness protection program.Dave wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:10 amOh, Joe, you can't fool us.

And
For example: the two trees in this Street VIew photo were saplings 50 years ago. (I should know.)
Google's automatic "anonymity and privacy" filter has blurred a small portion of the right-hand "tree". It's obviously concealing a face... and this means the "tree" is actually an ent.

I am not entirely sure how it would be done. My first thought is it runs on a completely separate infrastructure.
