What could possibly go wrong...
Facebook wants you to send nudes — for a good reason.
The social network announced on Tuesday it is testing a new initiative to fight “revenge porn,” in which it will allow its users to “proactively” upload scandalous pictures so it can block them from being posted. (If you’re lucky enough to have never heard of revenge porn, it’s a phenomenon in which someone posts images of a former sexual partner online without his or her consent.)
Here’s how it works: Facebook users can reach out to several groups the company has partnered with, including the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative and The National Network to End Domestic Violence, and ask for a review form. Users will upload pictures to a “secure, one-time upload link,” which will then be reviewed by a “handful of specially trained members of our Community Operations Safety Team,” according to Facebook.
