Facebook has come up with a new technology to combat the widespread of intimate pictures posted without people's consent which is termed as revenge porn on social platforms. The new Artificial Intelligence technology is in the squad along with a team of a pilot program which needs to have trained professionals to review offending photos.
Precisely, the AI tool is trained to identify nearly nude images including lingerie shots which may be designated with derogatory texts which would embarrass or humiliate someone over the platform.
Reportedly, Facebook's community operations team would review the content picked by the AI technology and if it turns out to be offending in any concern, it will be removed and disabled before it spreads.
The term refers to the posting and sharing of sexually emphatic photos on the internet without the permission of the person showed in it. This act is usually done to extort or insult people. In large quantity, this practice affects the female population who are most of the time targeted by former partners.
Additionally, Facebook is going to release a support hub namely Not Without My Consent. The detail of this hub will feature on the safety center page for people whose intimate pictures have been shared. The company works with 5 outsourcing vendors spread across 8 countries on content review. Reuters tally reports show that Facebook had nearly 15,000 people including contractors and employees working on such content as of December 2018.
In a blog post, Global Head of Safety at Facebook, Antigone Davis said – "Finding these images goes beyond detecting nudity on our platforms. By using machine learning and artificial intelligence, we can now proactively detect near-nude images or videos that are shared without permission on Facebook and Instagram."
Although, the past data breach events have made this newcomer a hot issue of debate in the tech industry, questioning the invasive behavior of the tool, yet some professionals are considering it to bring about an optimistic change in the Facebook Security System.
