Facebook says it needs your explicit photos to combat revenge porn

Wait, does this mean I can blacklist any image I want by claiming it's a naughty picture of myself? And assuming they thought of this problem, who's the final judge, some dude sitting in a cubical in Indonesia whose job it is to look at naughty pictures all day and see if they look like people's profile pics?

I could imagine they'd also ask for a copy of your ID or something like that. They already have the impudence to do so when they doubt a user's identity.

Why does this keep getting posted over and over?

For the same reason that I'm seeing it posted here for the first time.

Because there are no article summaries on HackerNews so it's hard to find the right keywords to search for when looking to see if what you're about to post is a dupe.

The search engine "and's" the keywords together making it harder -- if you search for "Facebook explicit", then you won't find an article titled "Facebook nude photos"

How long until Facebook literally asks for my soul?

Almost 14 years ago.
