Facebook wants your naked photos to stop revenge porn
BBC ^ | 23 May 2018 | BBC

Facebook is asking British users to send naked photos of themselves to the social network, to try to stop revenge porn.

If you're worried an intimate photo of you could be shared by someone else, the idea is to get it blocked before it appears online.

Similar technology is used to try to stop the spread of child abuse images.

Facebook's been testing the system in Australia and is extending the trial to the UK, the USA and Canada.

A spokesman told Newsbeat the idea is open to people in the UK now.

Facebook hasn't revealed any details about how the trial in Australia went - but obviously, the idea requires a huge leap of faith.

Would you send sexually explicit photos of yourself to Facebook?

Could you be certain the image would be handled sensitively - and crucially, not shared?

A nekkid photo of me although vengeful I don’t see how it would stop anything.

What could possibly go wrong with sending nude pictures to a company that already has you by the short and curlies if you’re stupid enough to use their service?

Do they not have enough meta data to blackmail anyone into compliance that they need you volunteering to show them your most personal and/or embarrassing moments captured digitally?

Hell, if it were Yahoo the second you sent them in they’d be on a revenge porn site in the time it took an automated script to publish them.

FB will sell the pics to the ABC agencies who will guard them with all diligence. Just like OPM does.

I am glad I closed the Facebook account and deleted it. I really don’t miss it much and it had become terribly boring.

If minors send in naked photos of themselves, even if they were lying about their age, can we shut down Facebook for good?

Naked pictures of Hillary would stop revenge porn DEAD. Dead.

In fact, seeing naked pictures of Hillary is a form of revenge porn, in reverse. Or more like a form of torture porn.

The Horror. The Horror.

What would happen if any normal person asked for embarrassing nudes?

Which child-molesting perv that works there suggested this?

If I could figure out a way to photoshop nekkid pix of Hillary and Helen Thomas without having to see what I’m doing i’d flood facebook with them.
