All that's there is a name and bank account link, I told them 'I am Oliver Ford' and that I'm happy to provide a secret shared by way of reference attached to a penny transfer to that linked account; but no - I must provide a copy of my passport and proof of address (which they don't know, and I can edit on the site anyway), obviously.
Imo if one can log into an account they should have the right to request a delete/download for all associated data. Considering PII could very much be involved self service would even be better.
In principle, both promises can be kept, with humans checking the matches (if any) against their rules. (In practice, I have no idea how it will work out.)
* that the original image can't be inferred from the hash, and * that similar images should get similar (if not the same) hashes
and these are in serious conflict, with what's happened with gradient-based methods the last 10 years.
But if they don’t do something like that, I could see submitting all the Pepe the Frog memes in an attempt to stop the proliferation of material that FB probably should have been stopping anyway.
1. How much processing time can you put on what might be a mobile phone - it’s using MD5 for Videos, but StopNCII did also try other things that were just too slow for phones.
2. StopNCII chose to do verification on platforms after a match rather than do it up front to prioritize the privacy of the user. This decision came after a lot of feedback from victims and experts who represent them. There are all sorts of techniques you can use to process server side (thus saving the person’s phone’s CPU), but it deliberately doesn’t retain enough context to make them viable.
Not at facebook, this will either be abused or useless
That doesn't seem to be working so well for preventing misinformation or threats of violence.
