Doesn’t instagram claim messages are e2e encrypted? How can this work without them having access to all messages?
On device image recognition?
They aren’t E2EE by default. You have to enable it manually.
Ah okay, thanks, I don’t use Instagram.
It is all closed-source anyway, so would not count on this “e2e”.
If they can detect nudes to blur them out, why not simply not have them sent at all?
But also: Imagine being so ugly, even when you’re not sending nudes it thinks you’re sending nudes.
From an ethical standpoint I would say teenagers should be allowed to send each other nudes, but from a corporate liability standpoint I don’t wanna have anything to do with that.
There’s probably a very good reason most Lemmy instances do not bother with NFSW content.
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?
why the hell don’t they just ban the accounts that try to send nudes to minors?
Because they are sent from minors to minors too? Teens are horny, they copy adults making nudes, sometimes just sharing porn. Recently there were problems with classmates using pornLLM to undress their peers. The abuse problem is harsher, but I feel it’s the minority of nudes received by minors. Honestly, I’d have changed the EULA to forbid it on a public service like Insta, because unlike messengers there is everything to be deanonymized and explicitly targeted by an abuser, including stalking and threats IRL. For Insta, there could be a rule to ban uploading images to Direct of <18 y.o. users, only reposts, meaning they are publically availiable and may get reported by other users and brought down by existing policies without breaking E2EE.
Because they are sent from minors to minors too?
This could be different depending on the country, but in Germany that would still be illegal. I don’t think a rule like you suggest would ever happen if not forced by law
I haven’t heard of that law be strictly enforced tho. For one reason - teens are stupid and don’t know laws, even though they fall under them. But yeah, most civilized places have laws against production of minor porn that doesn’t specify age, but can walk around the problem if it’s produced by a consenting party, of themselves, and without a big age difference.
Because not everyone lives in
Saudi-Arabia or Texasa country dominated by religious conservatives?ETA: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made it about specific countries.
So you’re saying you want to send nudes to minors?
why only to minors
It’s an option for adults.
should be on by default except trusted users
