In context of Zuckerberg’s “They trust me, dumb fucks” comments, the invitation to upload nude photos seems especially alarming.

misrepresents the idea of the service. It's supposed to tackle the 'revenge porn' issue. If someone sees their own nudes show up on facebook, they can send a picture to facebook, which I assume get's fed into an image detection service that then tries to remove the already circulating nudes automatically.

  There are way better and safer and less invasive ways to provide this service than uploading a personal photo to a 3rd party website.

      The only safe way is to not take nude pictures in the first place. What does this FB thing protect against? In practice? Upload the images as a zip file, message "hi, here's X in the nude, remove all fruit from htappletp://linkbananashortener.copearm/84395708345643785 and use "theytrustmedumbzuckerbergfucks" minus the FB founder as password". Yeah, it's a hurdle, but those who want to see the images will take it in a heartbeat, and abusers can still do things like message all mutual "friends", right there on FB. So you gained nothing, and pre-emptively gave FB your nude photos. Besides, Barrin92 said "If someone sees their own nudes show up on facebook" -- well, nude images aren't allowed on FB anyway, are they? So if you or anyone else can see them, if they're not posted in a private group or private messages, you can just report them, no need to even give away that it's you in them. Then what would stop FB from generating perceptual hashes of these images and removing them site-wide and in the future? There's so many holes in this that I can't really get mad on behalf of the people who fall for it.

        This is the right answer. If FB is going to automatically remove revenge porn, and all porn is forbidden, then they should just automatically remove all porn. They don't need specific porn to remove all porn. This reads more like a gullibility challenge than a true rationale.

  Facebook doesn't allow porn, so reporting it should be sufficient.

after he gets enough photos he can start a website where people rate and compare two bodies! http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2003/11/19/facemash-creator-survives-ad-board-the/ http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2003/11/19/facemash-creato...
