We can all agree that the recent spike in revenge porn is something that needs to be tackled in the tech-world,which is exactly why Facebook have come through with asolution to the problem.

The social-media platform are now encouraging users to send in their nude photos to the company itselfas a way to ensure that nobody else out therecould ever hijack the images.

'Let's all get checking out an update from MTV News...'

Basically, once a user sends their nude photos to Facebook, the company can "hash" the imagesand specifically find ways to recognise and block them if they pop up anywhere else on Facebook, Messenger, or Instagram.

The nude program is currently being tested in Australia, with e-safety commissionerJulia Inman Grant revealing in an interview with ABC that she's fully on board with the scheme.

“We see many scenarios where maybe photos or videos were taken consensually at one point, but there was not any sort of consent to send the images or videos more broadly," she pointed out.

While it might sounda bit terrifying to entrust a global company with yourmost intimate shots, it's worth mentioning that machines and algorithmsrather than actual humanswill be behind the organisationof the images.

For a bit of background on revenge porn, itbecame a legal offense to sharesexual photographs of a person without the subject's consent back in April 2015, with 30% of offences involving young people under the age of 19.
