Did anyone ask for this feature? Are you telling me that when a kid receives a photo blurred out in IG, shim is just going move on and be like ‘gee I’m just going to have to wait’. They have to have a phone number and email address to set up the account right??!!
Daddy, what’s noodity? Oh! So peepee pictures is nudity? How come I can’t see all the peepee in my phone?
Anyway, to prevent this conversation, maybe labele the images “content not appropriate or not allowed”. It works for mastodon. We literally can’t see a tit or dick unless we double click on the fussy image. So why only minors? Just add a switch for everyone.
So… they can identify when someone in a conversation is a minor. And they can identify when nudes are being sent. But when these two are combined, they figure just blurring the image is the appropriate solution?
One question. If they know those are minors and that they know that the pictures are nudes, why the hell don’t they just ban the accounts that try to send nudes to minors? Also who the hell thinks it is a good idea to send nudes to Meta?
lots of comments about e2e encryption (or the potential lack thereof)
even if it is e2e encrypted (and I mostly believe it is), once its decrypted on your device (in their app) its in the clear. there is nothing technical preventing the app from then inspecting the data or forwardiing the data to another party for analysis - thats a “terms and conditions” issue.
the article claims they are doing some on-device recognition - thats likely computationally non-trivial, with variable accuracy (false positives/negatives, anyone) and probably at least partially circumventable and perhaps even exploitable (more app surface area to attack).
so, ok… its a lead-in to classifying content on your device. I have no idea what comes next, but I am pretty sure there will be a next and this is why I don’t intentially use any meta products.
Which is a end-game around E2E. Saying ‘the message is encrypted’, but yes, I look at all messages before and/or after violates the expectation of E2E.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

Yeah, this is definitely gonna work, as if I haven’t been over 18 years old since I was 12 years old, according to every birthdate question ever.
why only to minors
Can the senders be sent to jail as well?
