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?

Isn’t that name already taken? I seem to remember...Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys? Never saw them in person mind you but they made the talk show rounds for a bit.
Facebook had tried several years ago to keep all photos you uploaded as theirs to use however they wanted. They were going to use them in advertising until someone read the updated EULA agreement and spotted it.
I guess this is their newest plan.
You will be on some X-rated site.
Look at google’s image privacy rules...
Yeah, right.
This will only encourage hackers to hack Facebook.
Oh yeah. I would advise all women to send in naked photos of themselves. Otherwise just anyone could abuse them, not just the folks you’re sending them in to.
So we won’t be quite as concerned over credit card data being stolen any longer. We’ll just be concerned about blackmail photos.
Hey, send us $500.00 dollars or we’re sending everyone you know those spread eagle shots.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, NO LADIES, I don’t advocate for this.
Sounds lame lame lame to me.
Facebook’s Global Head of Safety Antigone Davis told Newsbeat that photos will only be seen by “a very small group of about five specially trained reviewers”.

Specially trained? To look at naked pics all day. What degree program is that!?
If FB was a person I would not let them get close to my house or family or pets.
You don’t even have to have a facebook account to have a profile created in their database.
They have acknowledged web-crawling billions of images on instagram and datamining the hashtags and facial recognition data.
They are building up a profile on you even if you do not opt into their service. And they sell their data.
Be Seeing You
Fakebook is the site that takes every opportunity to promote the conspiracy theories about an alleged Russian pee-pee videotape of Donald Trump.
They aren’t anti-revenge porn. They just want more nekkid photos of everyone and to know who’s in them.
Schools took naked photos of Hillary Rotten and GW Bush...

ONE AFTERNOON IN THE LATE 1970’s, deep in the labyrinthine interior of a massive Gothic tower in New Haven, an unsuspecting employee of Yale University opened a long-locked room in the Payne Whitney Gymnasium and stumbled upon something shocking and disturbing.
Shocking, because what he found was an enormous cache of nude photographs, thousands and thousands of photographs of young men in front, side and rear poses. Disturbing, because on closer inspection the photos looked like the record of a bizarre body-piercing ritual: sticking out from the spine of each and every body was a row of sharp metal pins.
The employee who found them was mystified. The athletic director at the time, Frank Ryan, a former Cleveland Browns quarterback new to Yale, was mystified. But after making some discreet inquiries, he found out what they were — and took swift action to burn them. He called in a professional, a document-disposal expert, who initiated a two-step torching procedure. First, every single one of the many thousands of photographs was fed into a shredder, and then each of the shreds was fed to the flames, thereby insuring that not a single intact or recognizable image of the nude Yale students — some of whom had gone on to assume positions of importance in government and society — would survive...
...The procedure did seem strange. But I soon learned that it was a long-established custom at most Ivy League and Seven Sisters schools. George Bush, George Pataki, Brandon Tartikoff and Bob Woodward were required to do it at Yale. At Vassar, Meryl Streep; at Mount Holyoke, Wendy Wasserstein; at Wellesley, Hillary Rodham and Diane Sawyer. All of them — whole generations of the cultural elite — were asked to pose. But however much the colleges tried to make this bizarre procedure seem routine, its undeniable strangeness engendered a scurrilous strain of folklore...
So a peeping tom with an extended camera can take topless photos of Jackie O. and sell them to publications but a former sex partner who took or received such photos is prohibited from releasing them because the relationship soured?
Is there revenge “defamation” where an embarrassing photo of a person drunk, in costume, or dancing is released to publicly humiliate an ex?
They don’t pose for that sort of photo op anymore.
Boy, no kidding.
I do not see the entity as a decent player.
5 sounds about right.
Interesting that you can’t just send your name and face but have to send your entire nekkid body. I guess the boys at Facebook need something to perk them up on boring work days.
