Why do they need a human representative to hash the image? I don't understand why this can't all be done automatically. Creeps me out that a real human would see intimate pictures before they block them.

- gadjo95 9y agoBecause otherwise people will just submit random picture for the lulz
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoI'm _assuming_ the only reason a human representative is doing this is so the system doesn't get abused. Like say I upload a photo claiming it is of myself but it's actually the advertisement a competitor of mine is using. If they didn't verify it was something that SHOULD be removed they'd automatically remove my competitor's posting of their advertisement every time they posted it. Granted I really wish this was all done on the client so Facebook didn't gain access to the images themselves but I'm not sure of a good way around it to verify the image is something they should remove and not an abuse of the system.
- tantalor 9y agothey'd automatically remove my competitor's posting of their advertisement every time they posted it Since that will be very rare case why not make that the human-required step?
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoWhy would that be a "very rare" case? Facebook and Twitter have (or have had) hundreds of thousands of bots and constant abuses, why would this feature be rarely abused?
- pjc50 9y agoI'd assume that would be dealt with by an appeals process on the other end; if you post an image and it's flagged, you should be able to say "this is obviously not porn" and get it posted and the original false claimer should lose trust points.
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoProblem is it's significantly easier and faster to create noise than it is to clean up the noise. Dropping the up front review in favor of an appeals only system sounds impossible to handle at Facebook scale, IMO. Every time you shut someone's account down for losing too much trust, 10 others would have already replaced it.
- leggomylibro 9y agoBecause otherwise the platform will not be able to store or display images at all. Report, report, report, report, report - you know someone will do it, or make a bot to. Or they would need to put actual effort into developing a novel solution to a new-ish problem. But they're a large incumbent, so...no.
