Facebook Offers Solution To End Drunken Posts

First time accepted submitter blueshift_1 writes Remember that photo that you posted to Facebook sophmore year of college when you thought there was nothing more important than partying and letting everyone you knew how hard you partied? Well facebook is now trying to buzzkill every one of those moments. With their upcoming feature, they'll be using photo analysis algorithms to detect how intoxicated you were in the photo and suggest that you not post it. Which in the end, is probably for the best.

You will still be able to post your drunken pictures, the only thing this application will do is to ask you if you really want to do it given the content or the likely content to be at your disadvantage. You can still decide to post it anyway. It is just like a pat on the back: Are you sure you want to do this?

Yes... Well, your last snark is exactly why this is a bad thing. Facebook's algorithms will no doubt have false positives and Facebook will **no doubt** keep these statistics. As with other stats, these can find their way out of Facebook's altruistic hands.

That last, by the way, was a snark. At least the word altruistic.
