Revenge porn: Facebook wants to nude images of users
The world's largest social media is calling upon British, US and Canadian users to send their nude pictures to Facebook. The company is taking this step to prevent revenge or revenge.
If anyone is afraid that someone else can share his own secret pictures, then the strategy to save them is to block it before it comes online - according to the BBC's report.
Similar technologies are also used to try to stop the painting of child abuse.
Meanwhile, the Facebook system was being examined by the system. Now they started this test in the United Kingdom, USA and Canada.
A Facebook spokesman told the British media that the matter is now open to the UK people.
Facebook has not released any detailed information about how this test was conducted.
How does it work?
If a user is worried about any of his pictures, then Facebook should consult his supporters on this. This help provider in the UK is the Revenge Porn Helpline.
The staff there will then contact Facebook and the user will be given a link to upload the photo.
Who can see this picture?
Facebook's Global Head of Safe Antigen Davies said, "Only a small group of very specially trained reviewers can see this picture". They will give a unique digital fingerprint called 'hashing' in this picture. Then this code will be stored in a database. If someone else wants to upload the same picture, this code will be detected and blocked so that it can not be seen in Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger.
What will it really work?
Antigon Davis acknowledged, "There is no guarantee of picture matching technology." But he claims that he is improving this technology.
This whole arrangement will work only when the concerned person has the picture. It means that if a photo is taken by the former partner's mobile phone, then the person who is in trouble will not be able to upload it, this strategy will not work.
