Facebook on Friday announced a new tool to detect revenge porn
on its platforms including Instagram. The company also launched a new online
resource hub to help users respond to the abuse.
Facebook says its new
tool is driven by machine learning and artificial intelligence which allow it
to detect “near nude images or videos that are shared without permission on
Facebook and Instagram.”
The company adds the tool
will help detect non-consensual intimate images without anyone reporting it. If
any image violates the company’s Community Standards, Facebook moderators will
remove it. And in some cases, it will also disable an account for sharing the
content without permission. Facebook, however, will allow users to appeal the
ban if they think the company has made a mistake.
“This programme gives people
an emergency option to securely and proactively submit a photo to Facebook. We
then create a digital fingerprint of that image and stop it from ever being
shared on our platform in the first place. After receiving positive feedback
from victims and support organisations, we will expand this pilot over the
coming months so more people can benefit from this option in an emergency,”
Antigone Davis, Global Head of Safety, wrote in a blog post.
Facebook has also launched a “Not Without My Consent” platform to the victims of revenge
porn. The forum is part of Facebook’s Safety Center.
The forum allows victims to
reach out to organisations and resources for assistance including how to get
the non-consensual content deleted from the platform.
“And over the coming months,
we’ll build a victim support toolkit to give people around the world more
information with locally and culturally relevant support,” added Davis.
