The resulta look like your average IG/TT/Snap filter.

I have been wondering about this before. Do social media apps like those ever even receive the original image or only the filtered version? Implementing filters that break biometrics as a default active system seems like an obvious choice to prevent the rampant abuse of facial recognition tech all over the world.

What this filter does is probably not the same as the usual filters. To break biometrics it would have to shift eye, nose and general face structure slightly. I overlayed the two for a better comparison and it seems like that is what it does.

That's what it is but saying so isn't how you get investment dollars
