Revenge porn to be blocked on Facebook

TECHNOLOGY

Facebook is taking fresh action to prevent so-called revenge porn from being spread across its platforms.

The measure is being rolled out across Facebook, Messenger and Instagram but not WhatsApp. Campaigners welcomed the development. "It's a huge step forward," said Laura Higgins, founder of the UK's Revenge Porn Helpline. "Quite often these images are posted on social media as part of a domestic situation in which someone is trying to get at their target and their nearest and dearest. "One of the greatest challenges is to stop people re-uploading the content."
