New Delhi: Social sites Facebook and Instagram will no longer share semi-nude pictures of children below the age of 18 years. Social media company Meta has launched the ‘Take It Down’ tool for users. With the help of this tool, it is now possible to stop the spread of nude content related to children. This tool is powered by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tool has been launched to prevent sextortion cases and protect people’s privacy. let’s see how it will work
Old pictures will also be blocked
This new Take It tool will also help in removing nude photos that are already uploaded on this social media platform and prevent them from spreading on the internet. These days nude content is becoming increasingly viral on social media. People are being blackmailed through this. The number of internet users in India is very high. Some of them have a high population of under eighteen years of age. Children use the Internet more. They can easily get trapped in any trap. Those people are more likely to easily misuse them. But now it needs to be curbed.
Launch in India later this year
If a user reports a photo with the help of the Take It Down tool, then a digital fingerprint of that photo will be created. Those are called hashes. So it will be converted to a photo code. So no one else will be able to see that photo. One special thing about this tool is that after reporting one photo at a time, it will not open all the photos which are available on the same platform. That means it will be blocked. If someone tries to upload that photo it will not be possible. Meta said the tool will be launched in India later this year and the coming years will see regional language changes as well. One problem with this tool is that if someone saves, edits, re-uploads and broadcasts a nude photo, the image will not be blocked, as the tool will replace that image with a new one. will be considered as And will not be able to recognize. So you have to report that image again so that it is not broadcast.
