There were already tools in place to allow reporting of images like this...the change here (in theory) is that if you know your images are going to get leaked, you can do the leak yourself...and that way only one person at facebook sees them, instead of everyone on your ex's feed.
Seems a bit self-defeating, as it's pretty rare that someone knows pictures will be leaked, and it's not likely that they have copies of every image either.
I'm thinking a company the size of Facebook would be able to make some sort of automated system for thi. Either their current setup but facebook employees only look if someone says they are not porn, or something with machine vision that would flag images that seem to have NSW content that would not go public until someone reviewed them.
The fact that Facebook now actually has a division dedicated to looking at revenge porn all day is pretty disturbing. The fact that they now want potential victims to give them far more images than would have been posted is pretty disturbing. The fact that by submitting these images, Facebook rules mean that you are giving facebook ownership of those images too; and they can do whatever they like with them...that's really disturbing. And then there is the collected data and security angle. There will be public-facing servers full of naked pictures that are linked to particular users...and there is no such thing as a secure public-facing server.
So yeah...all pretty screwed up. I appreciate that someone at Facebook wanted to do something about revenge porn, but the implementation is just insane.
