Facebook To Use Photo-Matching To Block Repeat 'Revenge Porn' (aol.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from AOL: Facebook is adding tools to make it easier for users to report so-called "revenge porn" and to automatically prevent the images from being shared again once they have been banned, the company said. "Revenge porn" refers to the sharing of sexually explicit images on the internet, without the consent of the people depicted in the pictures, in order to extort or humiliate them. The practice disproportionately affects women, who are sometimes targeted by former partners. Beginning on Wednesday, users of the world's largest social network should see an option to report a picture as inappropriate specifically because it is a "nude photo of me," Facebook said in a statement. The company also said it was launching an automated process to prevent the repeat sharing of banned images. Photo-matching software will keep the pictures off the core Facebook network as well as off its Instagram and Messenger services, it said.

WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE POOR WIMMINZ?! It's not like they're involved with 10 different guys at the same time and sending nudes to every one of them or anything.
Hey white knight liberal facebook male employee: if you protect TEH WIMMINZ you might get rewarded!!!
I covertly tape every sexual encounter I have and save them in case they're needed/wanted at some future point. While I've never put one on FB, I did once use one as proof for a buddy that I had nailed his GF.
Can we get some variety in the submissions on the front page?
As I look through the submissions currently on the front page, there are ones covering these topics:
- Facebook
- Uber
- YouTube
- Twitter
- Uber
- Twitter
- Facebook
- Apple
- Amazon
- Twitter
It's like that pretty much every day. Facebook, Twitter, Uber, and Amazon. Again, and again, and again, and again, over and over.
Do we really need 3 Twitter-related stories today? Do we need 2 about Facebook and 2 about Uber? No!
I'd like to see more submissions about programming, for example. And I don't mean ones about using Twitter's API, or something stupid like that. I mean real ones about programming languages or interesting software.
And allow anonymous users to submit submissions again! We shouldn't have to create a goddamn account here just to submit content here.
Ha! Now the Facebooks knows what you look like nude!!!
Congratulations, they've won the internet for this *innovation*
There is porn of me out there. I'm not ashamed of it but I'd rather not have it spread around gratuitously. However: HELL NO I will not voluntarily tag it with my name, acknowledging that it really is me, so FB can store it in a database. Even if FB doesn't abuse it it's just begging to get leaked.
How about using genital matching to prevent porn on facepoke altogether?
Sending nudes to your SO != acting like a whore.
Normal human sexuality != "acting like a whore." It's normal to engage in risque and flirtatious behavior with a lover, things that can be intensely embarrassing if revealed to the public. It's not just photos. Lovemaking is an incredibly personal and intimate act, so whatever you do, you'll likely be vulnerable to someone who wants to use that against you.
I'd say, if anything, perhaps it's better to simply choose higher quality lovers. People who, after the pair goes your separate ways, won't become vindictive assholes. But it's pretty hard to know that in advanced. Lots of very nice people have chosen very poor partners, unfortunately.
So, let's throw the book at and punish perps who do this, and perhaps we can work towards creating a more understanding society in which this "revenge porn" isn't seen in quite so salacious a light, hopefully lessening its impact on the victim.
Irony: Agile development has too much intertia to be abandoned now.
Yeah that's what the world needs, brave crusaders out to make sure woman never get freaky and remain completely celibate with their partners. Thanks, hero. Buy yourself a cape.
-The art of programming is the pursuit of absolute simplicity.
Well, yes.
Unless they want to be seen by the world then women, just like men, should never ever get freaky with their partners *on camera*.
You missed that last bit out on purpose, didn't you?

Or you can be even more intelligent and don't let anyone take photos of you in flagrante delicto
And criminalizing photo sharing is an incredibly stupid idea, but exactly what I expect from a Stalinist dictatorship. Apparently the "crime" of embarrassment requires incarceration now.
Let's not throw the book at these perps, because I think we can all agree having voluminous daily output of revenge porn is a good and empowering thing.
Lol

Before we can get to that society stuff you mention these dumb fuckers need to get an education and I do not mean the academic kind.
I don't condone rape, but how fucking stupid do you have to be to wear anything less than a burka?
According to gender-neutral rape statistics, the piece of clothing most likely to be worn by rape victims is a male prison uniform.
lucm, indeed.
Parent is an idiot. I should be able to do anything I want without repracussions. If a guy took me to the bar last night and banged my brains out and took pictures of me passed out, what gives HIM the right to post pictures of my semen drenched vajayjay on facebook?
Men need to start having RESPECT for the other gender.
I think that it's better to just act like a whore and not be embrassed by it, at least that's what works for me (cue the "lier, slashdotters are always virgins" replies).

Nothing good comes out of fornication.
Don't fornicate. Seriously, just don't do it.
Oh please, you go turn it up to 11. By that logic, since some people want to "teach men not to rape" that we must "teach Muslims not to blow people up" and should "teach black people not to steal" today. It's about things that could happen. I tell people, if you choose to be in sexual digital photos or videos you'd better be prepared to have them be copied worldwide. People developed this idiotic "it's personal and private" idea when digital cameras made it seem more private than taking film to the local developer.
Wrong.
If two people know something, it isn't a secret. Even if the person you sent nudes to doesn't send them out themselves, another person might still get them. What if that person brings their phone or PC in for service? Recycles their phone? Do you honestly think that many people, who work on your crappy stuff, don't troll for every nude they can on your equipment? That cloud storage can't be hacked? That your ex could be drunk, that you could get drunk, and have your phone unlocked by fingerprint, and those nude photos/video end up shared with many?
What happens if you send a sexually charged material to the wrong person and they post it online? Is it revenge porn if the other person doesn't know you and just posts what you sent online? What if it was a 14yo you sent it to? Should they be charged for revenge porn or you be charged for sending sexual material to a minor?
Finally, think of this: As soon as you create sensitive digital media, you create a risk of losing control of it. Anytime you share sensitive digital media, you increase that risk exponentially per person that receives the media. Once it leaves your complete, and total, control you are gambling.
This is an excellent ploy to freely tag compromising images that would otherwise be unidentifiable (i.e. from the neck down). What will Facebook do with their person-matched database of embarrassing pictures? Sell to the highest bidder? Keep in mind, once those pictures are uploaded and flagged by a person, they are going to sit in Facebook's servers until the end of time... to combat revenge porn of course.
Maybe if everyone acted like whores the world would be a lot more fun and nobody would care.
If you like policing women's sexual behaviour so much, why don't you fuck off to Iraq? I believe there's a bunch of like-minded folk there, what were they called again? Oh yeah, ISIS.

Oh bullshit. I've had very revealing pictures in my phone. When we broke up I deleted them. Not EVERY man is untrustworthy, but since you think so that certainly shows that YOU aren't.

Recognizing shitty behavior isn't very hard. The problem is not getting attracted by it.
Your discounting that the behaviour usually doesn't start shitty. Your racist old uncle who starts spouting "old fashioned" ideas at Christmas when he's had a few can generally pass as an alright guy in public, for example. When people first meet, they tend to put their best side forwards, and can spend a huge amount of effort on that if there's some expected payoff.
The problem is not getting attracted by it. ... or are you just making a thinly veiled "women like assholes" post?
SJW n. One who posts facts.
... of themselves?
How do we have an entire generation of women, and even teenage girls, who are willing to send naked photos of themselves to the losers they insist on chasing? (You know, 'bad boys', anything as long as it isn't a kind, decent male human)...
The eternal Jew. The Jew media has been telling us for years now that 'porn' is normal, and that everybody is looking at it, and has spread it all over the internet, with no protection for children from it, and no mention of this by any of our politicians.
Women are now trying to compete with pornography, because most men are addicted to it, and can't relate to a real woman on a physical level.

Don't take the pictures, and stop sending them to every man. FTFY
When people first meet, they tend to put their best side forwards
Yes, they do, but only towards the person they are trying to impress. You can learn a lot more by studying how they interact with others.
women like assholes
Many women do. Assholes are often more successful in life, so these are desirable genes to get for your sons.
Erm, so why the fuck is everyone so embarrassed about the photos. You can not have it both ways, I am utterly neutral, completely ambivalent but the craziness, oh no dirty photos, seriously what the fuck do you morons find so destructive about normal sexual behaviour and yet point that out and get attacked. If it is normal behaviour the photos should cause no problem if it is considered abnormal behaviour the photos cause a problem, make up your fucking minds. I was quite clear, I give not one crap about male or female whorish behaviour, it is you idiots who have a problem with those photos of what is meant to be normal human sexuality, so from my viewpoint, you can all quite simply fuck off with your confusion. If it is normal accepted behaviour than the photos should cause no problem, none what so ever, yet you fuckers (snicker snicker) carry on about, make up your fucking minds.
Chaos - everything, everywhere, everywhen
...then keep them private.
Since when is male or female, just female. Be a whorish as you want, why would you think I care. I just am sick of the bullshit, either no one should care about the photos as it is accepted normal behaviour or they freak out about the photos because they want to keep the behaviour secret but go ahead wedge ignore the quite specific male or female because you are all wedged up. Make up your mind, you confused morons either the behaviour is normal and you should not give a crap about the photos or ohh ahh you are all freaked out about being exposed. I hold with the idea that no difference between slutty behaviour male or female, although technically in terms of disease, the female will always get an infection and the male will only sometimes get infected, so in the sexual diseases market, females seem to be disadvantaged. What ever the fuck you do with you non reproductive mutual masturbation does not concern me one iota as long as force or minors are not involved, every possible combination as often as possible fine, not my concern, I am just really sick of hearing about all the nonsense and the political correct bullshit and seriously why don't you just go fuck off.
Chaos - everything, everywhere, everywhen
Now that I can understand and appreciate that attitude, I just hugely dislike the deceit, pretending to be one thing whilst being another. Pretending to be all chaste to lock in a relationship whilst being a massive cheater, not that I have ever been affected by it but I find the trail of children of divorce as a result of faithlessness to be disturbing. Plus of course the whole idea of non-reproductive mutual masturbation to be something special, even with zero emotional connection all because it sells product to be more than just a little shallow. Also especially annoying is the slander and abuse when you just couldn't be fucked (tee hee) playing the silly game, somehow you are a failure if you do not fuck everything that moves. Wow the rage when you start sticking it back.
Chaos - everything, everywhere, everywhen
Will it work if you make alterations to the photo (change resolution, apply filters, change compression, add elements to the photo, etc).
The Facebook who claimed they couldn't take down copies of a single selfie of a Syrian refugee with German Chancellor Merkel from Fake News posts which falsely claim he's a terrorist? Because there was no technical way to do that?
Of course news about a fake are Fake News.
I was quite clear, I give not one crap about male or female whorish behaviour
Don't act like a whore and you will have nothing to be embarrassed by, male or female. Act like a whore and it is better for your future victims to know in advance who you really are, so they can avoid becoming victims and we all know the kind of males and females that we are discussing, it's kind of better for every one else if they just prey upon each other and leave the majority out of the manipulations and deceits.
Please point out the exact words which made it "quite clear" that you "give not one crap about male or female whorish behaviour". Because to me, it is "quite clear" that you are saying the exact opposite. But if you can point out the words which prove me wrong, I will certainly admit to being wrong.
How about, women like assholes. There, said it. Any comments?
Or in your case, don't unzip your pants and you will have nothing to be embarrassed by
Yet another problem that is easily resolved by never, or very seldom, logging onto Facebook.
Just shun the Zuck and he'll go out of business. The meme to spread is "only stupid people log onto Facebook."
Unless they want to be seen by the world then women, just like men, should never ever get freaky with their partners *on camera*.

Gods how I love that /. does not have an edit function. Because it means I can prove that you are 100% irrefutably WRONG . The person that javaman235 was replying to said NOTHING about cameras.
Don't Facebook ban nudity (except when breastfeeding etc etc) anyway? Why should a picture be treated specially because it's 'of me'?
That's not what revenge porn means though.
how is someone a whore because their boyfriend or girlfriend recorded them in the bedroom without their knowledge.
Snowden and Manning are heroes.
See this one for instance
More men are raped in the U.S. than woman, according to figures that include sexual abuse in prisons.
In 2008, it was estimated 216,000 inmates were sexually assaulted while serving time, according to the Department of Justice figures.
That is compared to 90,479 rape cases outside of prison.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...
On top of that, a large number of rape victims in prison are repeatedly raped over a long period of time, as opposed to most rape victims outside of prison.
The whole "rape culture" propaganda points a finger at men in general, ignoring that many men are also victims. For some reason it's politically correct to say that the vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists, but at the same time "men" in general are guilty for the alleged rape culture, even though the rapists are a tiny proportion of the male population.
lucm, indeed.
Many women do. Assholes are often more successful in life, so these are desirable genes to get for your sons.
Aww yiss. Genetic arguments. From anyone other than a biologist they are almost always wrong. And ya know daughters are slightly more important for propagating genetic material than sons, right? Sons, after all can't pass on mitochondrial DNA.
Look, I'm not going to deny that some women (and men) like assholes. There's no accounting for taste and people are weird. However there's a huge tendency for the forever alone crowd to go round the circular reasoning of "that's guy's so successful with women so he's clearly an asshole. Women like assholes".
Thing is a common type of asshole has personality traits which are superficially what a lot of people like. For example, confidence and not wallowing in whiny self pity the the whole time. Those traits are almost universally liked by people, men and women alike. Some assholes have those traits, but plenty of non assholes do. The "women like assholes" myth comes from a combination of observing superficial personality traits without getting to know the guy (who's the shallow one now, eh) and a self defense mechanism to put the blame else where.
It's not my fault I don't attract women when I never shower, shave or wear clean clothes. It's the fault of women because they keep dating assholes rather than me (definition: asshole, n., anyone who isn't me who a woman dates).
SJW n. One who posts facts.
Thanks for the article. However, Daily Mail is not that good with statistics. In this case the “216,000” or 4,5% who where “sexually victimized” [0], but the 90,479 were rape cases. To be precise, sexual victimization includes rape, but also groping[1].
Methodology is also different. The prison stats were obtained by surveys, but general population stats are registered cases with police. Since rape is notoriously under-reported this number does not represent count of actual rapes.
The whole "rape culture" propaganda points a finger at men in general, ignoring that many men are also victims. For some reason it's politically correct to say that the vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists, but at the same time "men" in general are guilty for the alleged rape culture, even though the rapists are a tiny proportion of the male population.
Even though men are also victims, the perpetrators are still mostly men. Can women rape men or other women? Yes, but men do it more. Perhaps I am reading different media, but the feminist propaganda I get is about cultural norms that make rape acceptable (when a guy rapes a girl, she must have behaved slutty and deserved it; if a girl rapes a guy, it just funny). If you listen carefully, feminists usually blame “patriarchy”, which, believe it or not, does not mean “all men”. There are women who prop up this culture and there men who fight it. We can discuss it in detail, if you want to.
On a personal note, I believe tackling rape in prisons is as important as tackling rape in general population. However, methods might be different, since the environments are so very different. Anyway, what are we arguing about?
[0]I used a bit newer material form BJS
[1]Sexual victimization -- all types of sexual activity, e.g., oral, anal, or vaginal penetration; hand jobs; touching of the inmate’s buttocks, thighs, penis, breasts, or vagina in a sexual way; abusive sexual contacts; and both willing and unwilling sexual activity with staff.
