How can anyone with an ounce of common sense not immediately dismiss this as totally preposterous? It's completely and utterly nuts! Anyone in management at FB considering this a reasonable initiative has surely lost all perspective on the right way to solve what I'm sure is - sadly - a genuine and serious problem.
This is old: nowadays, to create revenge porn, someone can just grab your face photos and use deepfakes.<p>i.e. facebook doesn't need naked photos to stop revenge porn, just use photos of your face, which they already have<p>i.e. photo of your face appears on fb/instagram/etc in an unlikely place? auto-crop it to just that body and ask you if you approve. even better, offer a page listing "your photos that appear on other people's feeds and profiles". The algorithm would need to be conservative (i.e. err on the side of not-matching) to avoid leaking <i>other</i> peoples' naked pics to you. To thwart uploading previously-recorded photos/video, use the same tech as Face ID.<p>This would also be an excellent positive-PR partnership opportunity between Facebook, Google, Tinder, and the other top social media and dating sites.
This would be a useful service if their system could detect signs of skin cancer.<p>In terms of squelching revenge porn, I do not see how this would remove anything from non facebook servers. Is 4chan going to integrate with this? Are they really only using hashing? Simple hash checks are negated with trivial effort.<p>If they are just hashes, why are users uploading anything beyond a hash? Example: virustotal [0] can get the hash of a file using javascript rather than uploading the file. Is this to see that the file is really porn?<p>[0] - <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.virustotal.com/</a>
Upload your own porn to Facebook, hilarious! Zuckerberg really hasn't changed and he still believes his users are dumb fucks.<p>Knowing real Facebook, I would imagine at minimum they will be extracting tattoos from these photos and sharing it with FBI/LEs of all sorts. AS it turns out many criminal cases are being solved because someone flashed their tattoo.<p>So 10 years from now Zuck will be on the road apologizing that they shared your naked photos/tattoos with LEs but you know thats for the common good so its allright. But definitely we will do better lol :)<p>Here Together: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4zd7X98eOs" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4zd7X98eOs</a><p>Edit: its beyond hilarious that the upload above has comments section disabled LOL! Social network not so much LOL
I wonder what's their <i>real</i> agenda with these photos. You can never take what Facebook says at face value. Just like when they say they're only building shadow profiles on you for security purposes.
