Facebook to Fight Revenge Porn by Letting Potential Victims Upload Nudes in Advance

This process involves the victim sending a copy of the nude photo to his own account, via Facebook Messenger. This implies uploading a copy of the nude photo on Facebook Messenger, the very same act the victim is trying to prevent.

Facebook says it's not storing a copy of the photo, but only computing the file's hash and adding it to its database of revenge porn imagery.

No, it's not April. Nobody should trust Facebook that much (or at all); a company who digs through all your private information to earn a few cents. The best solution is not to allow anybody to take possibly embarrassing images or videos; you do not have to take a selfie of everything you do.
