FACEBOOK IS
ASKING YOU TO PUT YOUR NUDES INTO THEIR DATABASE SO THAT THEY
CAN PROTECT YOU FROM REVENGE PORN BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE SEEM
TO BE IN A CLIMATE WHERE FACEBOOK HOLDS A LOT OF OUR
TRUST.
BASICALLY WHAT YOU DO IS YOU MESSAGE YOURSELF A PICTURE
OF YOURSELF NAKED AND:
ACCORDING TO FACEBOOK:
SIMILAR TO WHEN YOUR BOYFRIEND SAYS, NO, IT IS JUST FOR ME.
I'M NOT GOING TO SHOW ANYBODY.
HOW FACEBOOK GOT THIS AI
ACTUALLY COMES FROM A SCANDAL THAT THEY FACED BACK IN MARCH.
THEY ARE
GOING TO RELEASE A TRIAL OF THIS NEW AI IN
AUSTRALIA WHERE IT ACTUALLY IS A BIG PROBLEM THAT REVENGE IS A
BIG PROBLEM IN AUSTRALIA THAT ONE IN FIVE WOMEN AGED 14 TO 25
MAY HAVE HAD IMAGE-BASED ABUSE SO THEY ARE TRYING TO ITS
ATTACKER ISSUE BY ASKING THEM TO SEND YOU NUDES.
>> IT IS A TRAP.
IT IS A TOTAL TRAP.
IT JUST SOUNDS SO CREEPY.
YEAH, IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU DON'T WANT A VIRUS AND YOU GET THE
VACCINE, YOU JUST INTRODUCE A LITTLE BIT OF THE PATHOGEN.
>> IT IS THAT VOICE.
THAT IS INCREDIBLE.
>> IT IS ME, FACEBOOK.
>> IT IS NOT A PHOTO, IT IS THE LINK.
WHAT?
NO.
IT'S LIKE SOMEONE PRETENDING TO BE A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER WHO HAS
ONLY SEEN PARTS OF CSI WHERE THEY ARE HACKING.
THAT IS IT.
I JUST HAVE TO BYPASS THE MAINFRAME FIREWALL.
FACEBOOK,
YOU CAN IDENTIFY MY FACE WHEN I AM WEARING A FULL MASK
ESSENTIALLY.
CAN'T YOU JUST IDENTIFY BOOBS AND JUST BE LIKE
WE FLAG THEM AS BOOBIES AND GENITALS.
>> AREN'T YOU NOT ALLOWED TO SHARE, NIPPLES AREN'T
ALLOWED ON FACEBOOK REGARDLESS, RIGHT?
>> I GUESS IT IS IN A MESSAGE AND IN BACK IN SPREAD TO OTHER
INTERNATIONAL PLACES.
I GUESS I CAN SHUT IT DOWN QUICKER BUT
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THIS WORKS ON FACEBOOK, LET'S JUST PRETEND
THAT WE TRUST MARK ZUCKERBERG RIGHT NOW.
LET'S PRETEND THAT
WE TRUST HIM AND HE IS LOOKING AT THESE IMAGES, HE IS USING AI,
NOT HIM, HOPEFULLY HE IS NOT.
>> NO, IT ALL GOES STRAIGHT TO MARK ZUCKERBERG.
PURE
POWER.
HE SITS DOWN AND THEY JUST ARE.
>> MARK AND PRISCILLA.
>> LET'S PRETEND THAT THIS AI WORKS AND THAT THEY CAN PREVENT
REVENGE PORN AND STUFF LIKE THAT BUT WHAT'S TO PREVENT SOMEBODY
FROM HACKING MY INDIVIDUAL FACEBOOK ACCOUNT AND POSTING IT
ON MY WALL OR I HAVE A PUBLIC FACEBOOK ACCOUNT, HANNAH
CRANSTON, HERE YOU GO.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> YEAH.
YOU NEVER KNOW.
>> I TOOK MY SHIRT OFF ONCE ON A SET IN A PRODUCER SAID, IS THAT
YOUR BODY?
>> I DO NOT LIKE THAT.
BODY POSITIVITY HERE.
>> IS THAT YOUR QUESTION TO ME RIGHT NOW?
LOOK, REVENGE PORN IS
A SERIOUS ISSUE AND WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO CLAMPDOWN ON IT.
I DON'T THINK SENDING MORE NUDES IS GOING TO FIX IT.
>> VOLUNTARILY SENDING, AND I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT THIS
RESERVOIR OF NUDES, BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE, HAVE WHAT
PROTECTIONS DO WE HAVE OUTSIDE OF THIS STATEMENT THAT THEY
RELEASE A SAID NO, IT IS NOT THE PHOTO, IT IS THE LINK THAT
ENSURES FOLKS THAT THIS IS THEM BEING HELD SOMEWHERE AND THAT IS
CONSISTENT, WHAT IF I CHANGE MY HAIR ONE OF THEIR PHYSICAL
CHANGES.
HOW DOES THE RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY THEN
WORK?
I DON'T KNOW.
I GET THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE THESE PREVENTATIVE
MEASURES BUT IT JUST SEEMS PROBLEMATIC DARK.
>> BUT ALSO, LOOK I THINK THE PROBLEM WITH FACEBOOK RIGHT NOW
IS THAT IT HASN'T DEFINED ITSELF, RIGHT?
THEY SAID THEY
ARE A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM SO IF THEY ARE A SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORM, MAYBE THIS MAKES SOMEWHAT SENSE.
WE'RE STILL
GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WHATSAPP AND INSTAGRAM AND
OTHER ENTITIES BUT RIGHT NOW IT IS BEING ARGUED THAT THEY ARE
MEDIA COMPANY.
WOULD YOU SEND YOUR NEWS TO A MEDIA
COMPANY, SO I HOPE NOTT.
YOU SEND THEM TO MY DM SO I
DON'T WANT
THOSE EITHER.
>> YOU JUST ASSURED YOU'D GET MORE.
IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.
>> BUT A LOT OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES TRY WHENEVER SUED TO
HIDE BEHIND A LAW THAT PUTS THEM KIND OF IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS
THE TELEPHONE COMPANY WHERE SOMEONE HARASSES, SOMEBODY DOES
SOMETHING ILLEGAL THROUGH A TELEPHONE CALL, YOU DON'T SUE
THE PHONE COMPANY JUST BECAUSE THEY PUT UP THE WIRES.
THAT IS
WHY FACEBOOK AND OTHERS HAVE TRADITIONALLY INSULATED
THEMSELVES FROM ANY CONSEQUENCES.
I LIKE THE IDEA
THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE.
>> THEY NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE PROACTIVE.
>> IS ONE OF THOSE GOOD TRY, I'M SURE YOU GUYS GOT IN A MEETING
AND THERE WERE A LOT OF DRY ERASE CIRCLES AND LINES OF GOOD
IDEAS AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS WHEN YOU SAID IT OUT LOUD YOU ALSO
HEARD HOW RIDICULOUS IT WAS EVEN THOUGH WE'LL GO TO MEETINGS AND
COME OUT WITH THESE GREAT IDEAS THAT DO NOT REALLY FLY IN THE
REAL PITCH, THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
IT IS WHERE THE IT IS SUCH A SMALL, IT IS VOLUNTARY AND
A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE.
THERE SHOULD BE A LARGER POLICY AT PLAY AND HIGHER
CONSEQUENCES FOR OFFENDERS.
>> THAT SAID, IF YOU WANT TO SEND NUDE PHOTOS TO YOURSELF AND
ANY OTHER SORT OF MESSAGE BECAUSE YOU LIKE IT, YOU GO
GIRL.
