Humans rather than algorithms will view the naked images voluntarily sent to Facebook in a scheme being trialled in Australia to combat revenge porn.
The BBC understands that members of Facebook's community operations team will look at the images in order to make a "fingerprint" of them to prevent them being uploaded again.
Facebook will notify the person once the photo has been "hashed'.
It will then be up to the sender to delete the image.
The trial, which could be extended to other countries, is seen as a way of of allowing users greater control over their intimate photos - offering a a pre-emptive protection against future misuse of the pictures by disgruntled ex-lovers. 'Redouble efforts'
Users wanting to take part in the scheme must first complete an online form on the Australian e-safety commissioner's website.
Then they need to message themselves their nude photos via Messenger and the e-safety commissioner's office will notify Facebook of their submission.
A Facebook community officer can access those photos to "hash" them, and they will then notify the person via the secure email provided via the commissioner's website.
Revenge porn is a growing issue in Australia where studies suggest that one in five women aged 18-45 may have been victims.
Experts in the field have welcomed the initiative but have warned that it will only tackle the problem on Facebook and its associated sites, WhatsApp and Instagram.

Good job for men in prison.
Only problem is the guy who wants to post revenge porn can photoshop image and alter the image that his ex- girlfriend sent to to jamokes at facebook to vet.
Facebook cannot detect the altered image when it is posted for revenge.
I suppose there is also gay and trans revenge porn...don’t want to diss them by leaving them out.
I guess we will see how stupid the next generations really are. Send us your nude pictures! We will look at them and make sure no one else will see them.........too creepy for words.
I am retired. I have time on my hands and I am looking for a part time job.
I volunteered to dress Melania when no one wanted to. I didn’t get that job.
I might try out for this one...we’ll see how it goes.
I wonder if a referral from Laz would help ?
I can only think of two ways to keep people whom you don’t trust from posting nude pictures of you. The obvious one is to send lots of nude pictures of yourself to people you don’t trust and then to send the same nude pictures to total strangers. There’s another option, and it miraculously worked for several people, including my wife, but it sounds so crazy I won’t bother posting it.
The good ones will be kept.
Facebook Fappening.
Great idea! You can pay the prison inmates peanuts for vetting the would be revenge porn photos. Sure beats stamping out license plates or picking up trash by the roadside.
“I wonder if a referral from Laz would help ?”
Too bad Laz already has a job; this would have been a perfect fit for him.
This should be illegal some how.
Pictures or it didn’t happen...
So, to prevent their naked photos from going on FB, you send your naked photos to some government guy, who in coordination with FB will notice and intervene if someone tried to post them?
Well gosh, this solution was staring us right in that face all along!
Calling Mr. Weinstein, Mr. Cosby, Mr. Sheen.....
That is not a job I would want for more than 20 minutes in a week’s time. Not when you think of the variety of ‘proclivities’.
Facebook analyst...”Hmmm, good photo, but we need more angles. Can you send a full frontal? How about left profile? Right profile? Maybe just a few more to be sure. Nice back shot would be good. Can you bend over? OK, lie on your left side. Right side. Just a few more, not too many. We should be done in a week or so.”
Just think, these fakebook internet geeks will next come up with the answer to internet credit card theft. Just give them all your CC numbers/SSN/DOB/billing address/3 digit card code and they will watch card use for you. Anyone dumb enough to send a picture to this pimply hairy palm group shouldn’t have any problem giving them financial access too.
LOL! “Hey Anthony, dis job’s right up yer alley, so to speak!”
Brilliant idea. What could go wrong?
