Humans to vet Facebook revenge porn photos
Humans rather than algorithms will view the naked images voluntarily sent to Facebook in a scheme being trialled in Australia to combat revenge porn. "Facebook will notify the person once the photo has been"hashed'. Then they need to message themselves their nude photos via Messenger and the e-safety commissioner's office will notify Facebook of their submission. A Facebook community officer can access those photos to "Hash" them, and they will then notify the person via the secure email provided via the commissioner's website. Experts in the field have welcomed the initiative but have warned that it will only tackle the problem on Facebook and its associated sites, WhatsApp and Instagram.
