Australia and Facebook are working together to try a new experimental measure against revenge pornography that could possibly stop the release of images before it happens.
In accordance with Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Facebook is testing a bigger one program το οποίο ελπίζει ότι τελικά θα κυκλοφορήσει σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Το κοινωνικό δίκτυο φέρεται ότι θα συνεργάζεται πολύ στενά με το γραφείο ηλεκτρονικής ασφάλειας της κάθε χώρας, για τη νέα service security.
How will it work?
Users could block an image by simply storing it on the social network, so any attempts by third parties to post on Facebook, Messenger or Instagram will not work.
Users who initially agree to upload an image, but do not want it distributed except της υπηρεσίας που την ανεβάζουν, θα μπορούν να αναφέρουν την εικόνα προληπτικά σαν μια "μη συναινετικά οικεία εικόνα". Οι χρήστες της Αυστραλίας, για παράδειγμα, μπορούν να επικοινωνήσουν άμεσα με e-Safety office και, και στη συνέχεια, να στείλουν την εικόνα με ένα μήνυμα στον εαυτό τους στο Messenger.
This way, the company can collect the hash of the image, so it can recognize it from its electronic fingerprint. So if someone ever tries to upload them to other services of the company they will not be able to.
According to a Facebook spokesperson, any images that are referred to as non-consensual images will be recognized by Facebook Photo Matching Technology and will inform the user who tries to upload them that it violates Facebook policies.
Needless to say, this option only works if you are the owner of the original photo or at least if you have access to it, which is not always the case for victims of this type of act.
Australian e-Security Commissioner Julie Inman Grant has acknowledged that this solution is aimed primarily at those who are very cautious.
Of course, as you understand, this measure does not completely solve the problem, especially if photos are not distributed through Facebook.
Είναι όμως μια αρχή ...
