Facebook launching tools to tackle revenge porn

New photo-matching technology that allows users to easily report intimate pictures posted without consent has been praised by campaigners

Facebook is launching a series of tools designed to crack down on the sharing of so-called revenge porn.

The new tools will allow users to easily report any intimate photos posted without consent that they see on the social network, which will flag the pictures in question to "specially trained representatives" from the site's community operations team, who will "review the image and remove it if it violates [Facebook's] community standards".
