Although it is not a new problem, revenge porn today still has no simple solution. It is the media where this type of content is published that has to put a stop to this type of content. Facebook, the usual medium for publishing this type of content, has begun a test in Australia, a test that It is especially striking for its methodology.
The Facebook solution that has begun to offer in Australia is that we send each other uploaded images of everything that at some point may circulate through the social network, through Facebook Messenger so that the social network take note of the digital signature of these photos and prevent their publication.
Logically, this new service does not replace the one currently offered by Mark Zuckerberg's company, who, based on user complaints, removes sexual content, whether consensual or not, but in most cases it is usually too late, since the images have begun to circulate on the internet and chen that happens it is impossible to completely remove it from the network of networks.
According to Facebook, this method is an emergency measure for those who want to proactively prevent their intimate photos from being shared without their consent. At the moment this method is only available to all those users who register through the website of the Australian eSafety Commissioner. Next, the user is asked to send the images you want to block to himself through Messenger and the commissioner will notify Facebook that you have signed up for the program and will obtain the digital hash of those images, at no time will they have physical access to the images, images that will be deleted when the social network has obtained the signature of the photograph.
