Facebook may fight revenge porn by asking for your nudes
Online Services
Facebook is fighting against unauthorized sharing of your nudes by asking you to upload photos of your nudes Sure Jan, The Australian broadcasting corporation reported Facebook plans to test technology design to help combat revenge porn.
Here's the general gist of how it works.
Step 1 you upload your sexy pictures to Facebook which I think we could file under how could that possibly go wrong Step two.
Facebook then takes that image and hashes it.
So it makes sort of a unique digital fingerprint from that image, which I guess sounds a little more reasonable.
And step three, Facebook then deletes the image after a short period of time and uses the digital fingerprint it created to block anybody from uploading that image to Facebook in the future.
So I guess it sounds fine, but still ew.
It looks like Facebook will be testing the feature in Australia with the help of a small government agency dedicated to e-safety, but no word on exactly when or how the pilot program would roll out to users.
It definitely sounds a little counterintuitive to upload your most intimate pictures to the world's most popular social network.
On top of that.
I'm sure there are many of you out there who would scream, don't upload your nude pictures to Facebook!
What is wrong with you?
Who cares what technology's involved!
So now I'm curious.
Are you trusting of this technology?
Would you upload your nudes to Facebook in order to keep them off the social site?
