Facebook asked for nudes to help stop revenge porn and it worked. Can our culture change next? | Arwa Mahdawi

A tool to stop non-consensual distribution of intimate images has been successful - but there's still the problem that collecting digital trophies is part of being a man

Would you send your nudes to Facebook? Would you trust a company famous for its somewhat loose approach to data privacy with intimate photos of yourself?
