Facebook Asks British Users To Submit Their Nudes as Protection Against Revenge Porn (betanews.com)

Mark Wilson writes: Following on from a trial in Australia, Facebook is rolling out anti-revenge porn measures to the UK. In order that it can protect British users from failing victim to revenge porn, the social network is asking them to send in naked photos of themselves. The basic premise of the idea is: send us nudes, and we'll stop others from seeing them .

Redistribution of Sex

[PopeRatzo]

Asking for nude photos to prevent nude photos from being posted is the second most audacious demand on the internet recently.

The first one was when incels and Jordan Peterson demanded that women have sex with them to prevent mass murders.

Citation of a specific, direct, demand with a threat please.

Prosecution would be trivial if you are telling the truth.

I don't understand why so many men think they are exempt from the forces of natural selection. If you're fat and ugly and don't have a brain capable of making yourself appeal to women you're not really entitled to any sex unless you pay for it.

About 1 in 5 women will give me a curious glance to suggest they're interested. Initiating contact often complicates this as they assess whether they think we are compatible in outlook and goals. The biggest turn off is moving too fast and being too keen. Whether socially constructed or not, women seem to have a lot of vanity behind them and stroking their own egos seems to be a lot of the game initially.

That's instincts but it's not the whole game. Being kind, truthful and competent are major parts of attracting a woman especially as they get older.

Ultimately your lack of sex has nothing to do with women themselves. It's about you competing with other men. Don't feel angry at them. Why should they opt for something inferior. You make yourself better until it works. Just don't be so nieve to even think you know what better is if it's not already working for you.

It's either a famine or a feast and it's got a lot more to do with yourself than them. Oh and they and everyone around you can tell when you're looking at their breasts and asses. Bring that into real life too much without being a jock and you're going to be stuck watching porn.

Finally most women are more left leaning that men, especially social issues. If you think being an altright fan boy is going to give you any success in that department, I really hope you don't mind being stuck with shallow golddiggers.

Real women have feeling and hopes and dreams just as you do. Your altright attitude is going to cramp their individuality. Your mom might have been into that but that's not the case anymore. Try talk to more girls than just your mom and actually listen and learn to how they think.

Unless they're a rabid SJW. You don't need a fucking mental case.

Vice can be entertaining. (search for the 'Columbian donkey fuckers')

The mistake Ratzo makes, is believing what he wants to be true, same as always.

I'll bite for the sake of it.

1. Women want and have sex just as much as men. The issue is they only want to have sex upper men.

2. The issue of 'monogamy' allowing distribution of women which has the side impact of reducing crazy aggression is not much different than other arguments. Ever heard someone say... society has to handle economic inequality because if inequality gets too high, people riot, kidnap, steal... and society breaks down. It's pretty much the same argument except in one you're 'robbing someone of their labor' and in the other you're 'controlling someone of their sexuality'.

3. This is just more personal advice than anything. Don't bother with complaining about women. And if you're a women reading this... don't complain about men. Both sexes are who they are and there's enough difference in both genders that chances are, it's you that's the problem. So even if we take all of your observations are 'true'. You believe that women today go for how entertaining a guy is. Alright... that's the hand us guys are dealt according to you. So the advice should be for guys to work on being more entertaining. Even if you think it's shallow... do it to 'rope' her in then show her all the rest of your amazing self. Same with girls... if they think men only care about looks. If that's what they think... then put in the work to look good... then show the guy the real value of your character.... For such an important life choice and purpose to life, most of the people don't put in the kind of work. And it's not that hard work. Get a good haircut, take care of yourself... You don't need to be The Rock or Arnold or Tom Cruise here, but do the basics which take up almost no time, and you'll be able to attract someone. I'm almost 35, and I'm only now looking right. I got married before this, but I look at myself now, and think... shit... I coulda had so many girl all my life if I just put in an hour a week. I do what I do now mainly for work. Sharp haircut, decent clothes... little workout. I spent more time browsing online profiles and stuff before this.

Just do something anything... to make yourself happy. I suffered pretty severe depression or what you call it in my mid 20s, feeling like I was stuck and society was screwed up. I'd never take it out on society like these incels people, but I could have given up on life. I look at myself back then and realize... I could have done so much.

Heck, even if you have no skills with women and you want sex... take a trip overseas and go to thailand. I don't mean that jokingly... I seriously wish I had done that. I had a good job? Do something.

This is probably shitty advice at some level, but take it within the context of what I'm saying. Give up on politics. Give up on society. You're not that powerful or skilled to change it. Get out of your systems thinking head of what is wrong with society and how to arrange it properly. I spent way too much time in my head like that and still do. Just friggin live your life and do things.You'll actually become more capable of actually changing things if you do.

Just you wait until this time next year when everyone is shocked and outraged at these pics being leaked.

Who's Running This Company?

[rutabagaman]

I'm kind of shocked how tone deaf this is. If a company generally perceived as trustworthy asked the British to send them their nudes, there would be plenty of eyebrows raised. Now how trustworthy is facebook? In the UK?

FB should make downloadable tool available to

[Utopia]

calculate the image hashes.

There are several libraries available to calculate image hashes that can be built into a desktop tool
For example: https://github.com/JohannesBuc...

why cant he get his porn like normal people

[coolmoe2]

Seriously this guy has won my creepiest fucker ever award.

Even if you can upload the image to them to "fingerprint" images are often cropped and converted to other image formats and recompressd which fucks that up. So unless they have some super AI that can detect that from a 2nd generation repost this wont work.

Just as a side note if some super porn sniffing AI can do this can I get access to it for purely scientific reasons.

Re: Ok

[aphelion_rock]

I am sure there will be a few FB employees who will enjoy looking through the new FB p0rn collection.

Why can't FB issue a utility to the users to process their own images and generate a hash for the images they don't want shown?

Re:Nice try

[Anonymous Coward]

Why was this modded as a troll?

Come on people need to take responsibility for there actions .. if you don't want naked pictures of yourself then stop taking them. It's simple really

Re:Nice try

[Anonymous Coward]

Probably because there isn't a "-1 Retarded" mod.

don't dress like a whore

[Anonymous Coward]

It's a troll because:

If you don't wanna get robbed, lock your doors.
If you don't wanna get murdered, don't piss anyone off.
If you don't wanna get raped, stop dressing like a whore

All those things still happen no matter if you do or do not. It's a bullshit argument tactic.

Disingenuous Citation is Disingenuous

[Anonymous Coward]

You made the following explicit claim (emphasis added):

The first one was when incels and Jordan Peterson demanded that women have sex with them to prevent mass murders.

You provided the following links, neither of which mention Jordan Peterson:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
https://forward.com/schmooze/4...

You mention 'Robin Hanson's blog' but did not provide any link. Assuming you meant the following link from one of the articles, it does not mention Jordan Peterson either:

http://www.overcomingbias.com/...

So you have not provided any citation where Jordan Peterson is even mentioned, let alone that he specifically "demanded that women have sex with them to prevent mass murders". Apparently your sources refer to "incels" for the first part of your claim, but the second part is unsubstantiated by the citations:

Jordan Peterson demanded that women have sex with them to prevent mass murders.

One could assert in a similar manner that "Donald Trump and PopeRatzo bragged about grabbing women by the pussy" and cite cnn.com with the same level of evidence you as what you had provided: i.e. absolutely none for the second party mentioned, who is never mentioned in any of the linked sources.

So do you have any actual evidence -- specifically an unabridged direct quote of him for the full context -- that Jordan Peterson "demanded that women have sex with [him] to prevent mass murders"?

Re: Ok

[DeVilla]

Why can't FB issue a utility to the users to process their own images and generate a hash for the images they don't want shown?

... and someone will start submitting hashes of pictures that embarrass a politician they like and for pictures that show a politician from the other party in a favorable way. Unfettered access to Facebook's ban hammer.

Re: Ok

[shockwaverider]

Instead of deleting nudes images of you based upon nude image of you, simply publish the nude image and you have nothing left to hide, unless of course you are a slut trying to pretend you are not one because you are working you next victim to clean out.

Privacy is a human right. I bet you have curtains in your home. Why? (if you have nothing to hide.....)

Re:I think that's the idea

It's still your honour but spelt right. ;)

Re:I think that's the idea

[wiretrip]

I agree. Or maybe this is the ultimate 'dead cat' strategy. Make an outrageous demand of the users so people concentrate on that and forget all the other shit going on with FaeceBook at the moment...
