“Specialty websites show up in Google searches, but unless you are looking for them no one is going to see you nude. On Facebook and Instagram you have your family, friends, co-workers, bosses and your real name. Everybody is going to see.” - @BadassBowden https://t.co/s6rgBSegYk

This is a good and clear look at how Facebook is dealing with revenge porn - both what it’s doing well and where it’s still failing https://t.co/ObztPlfxQq

The nonconsensual sharing of intimate images is already a crime in 46 states, but law enforcement rarely takes it seriously. Many victims I spoke to were told by police that they shouldn't have shared the images in the first place, which is... not helpful https://t.co/s6rgBSegYk

Facebook doesn't always get it right -- the reporting process is still confusing particularly on Instagram & Messenger -- but it is the *only* big tech company to have developed tools to proactively ID and take down NCII https://t.co/s6rgBSegYk

The nonconsensual sharing of intimate images (aka revenge porn) is a content moderation problem that requires a human touch on the individual level, but that only an automated system can tackle at the necessary scale (FB gets about 500k monthly reports) https://t.co/s6rgBSegYk

I’m really glad Olivia is covering NCII and looking at solutions.

She was one of only a couple of journalists who covered the 2017 FB pilot from the perspective of victims (the other being @kateconger). Most of the media just enjoyed posting snarky hot takes. https://t.co/KqzzAaCY51
This whole incident really soured my view of the tech press as not being educated or interested in the real problems, especially compared to the people I knew at FB who dedicated their careers to helping real people. Maybe my stereotype isn’t fair, but neither was the coverage.

One of the most significant changes Facebook made was to treat reports of 'revenge porn' with a similar level of urgency as content related to self harm. But is there *any* amount of time you are happy for your friends & family to see your nudes? https://t.co/s6rgBSegYk

Facebook had this kind of victim-blaming language in its policy pages, but deleted it after consulting with advocacy groups https://t.co/s6rgBSegYk pic.twitter.com/YZeKKp1u9I

Facebook was widely mocked in the press when it launched its 'send us your nudes' pilot to tackle revenge porn in 2017 but many victims welcomed the move as a tangible way to claw back control in a desperate situation. Here's what happened next https://t.co/s6rgBSegYk

Now that @oliviasolon has done a deep dive into Facebook’s nonconsensual intimate imagery schema, I thought I’d re-up my thread from March that worried the platform would find itself in exactly this position.

"Each month, Facebook ... has to assess about half a million reports of revenge porn and 'sextortion.'"

I'm getting a lot of 'well they shouldn't share their photos in the first place if they don't want them to be public' comments to my revenge porn piece which is technically true but not remotely reflective of how people communicate online these days https://t.co/s6rgBSegYk
