The Australian Office of the Commissioner for Security on the Internet reported that they were co-operating with the social media giant last week in a pilot scheme that would allow one to report sensitive images shared on the Internet without their permission.

Messenger will then notify Facebook, which will use the image-recognition technology to prevent these images from uploading to Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Groups or Instagrams.
Chief of Global Security Facebook, Antigone Davis, said the industry's first pilot would use the latest “technology to prevent the sharing of images on its” platforms.

The Australian Office of the Internet Security Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said that “renewd pornography” or abuse of image (IBA) could be an extremely devastating experience for victims.
A recent study revealed that one in five Australians were victims of “revengerography”.
