Send nudes: Facebook asks users for naked photos to combat ‘revenge porn’

Fake news?

Edit: this bizarre story has been picked by other news outlets, so maybe there's something to it.

It is so obvious that it's just a misleading title.

They are not asking to send them your (new) nude photos. They are trying to say that if a person has some old nude photos AND they think they are leaked online, they could send copies to aid in searching who is sharing them.

That's not how I read it:

> asked any Australian who fears that intimate images of themselves may be online to send a nude photo of themselves via Messenger.

So yes, they are asking you to send your nude pictures. Whether new or not it is not the question.

"sending nudes now a hallmark of our society"

Why? People like looking at naked people. Lots of people like other people looking at naked them. I'm pretty sure this is how it's been for several thousands of years...
