It really isn’t enough to mask the identity to someone who actually know the person, or even really make it that much harder for someone who doesn’t.

Check this paper out, sure it “significantly decreases” recognition, but partially covering the face still means almost 70% recognition rate, and it doesn’t matter if it’s the eyes or any other part that is covered. If you want anonymity you have to cover the entire face.
