This doesn't really make sense. Isn't machine learning already good enough to detect nude photos? If nude photos are not allowed on Facebook, why do they need hashes of your specific photos? They could identify all nude photos with machine learning and remove all of them.
Or have a checkbox in the profile settings: Do you permit other people to upload nude photos of you? [ ] Yes [x] No

- JoshMnem 9y agoThey have facial recognition data though. If the uploading user is not the user in the nude photo, and the user in the nude photo has not checked a box that says "I permit other users to upload nude photos of me" then block the upload and flag for review.
- m_eiman 9y agoIt's hard to identify a person when the set of possible values is "every person on the planet" and not "one of these few persons". They could detect if the uploaded looks like one of the uploader's Facebook friends, I suppose, and that would probably be useful. What would they do if they detect a possible match, though? Ask the person they think is in the photo "is this you, are you ok with John Doe sending this photo to Jane?". That could lead to trouble when the system gives false positives.
