> "54,000 potential cases... and 33 of the cases reviewed involved children." That's 0.06% of reviewed cases, which is frankly less than I would have thought. I suspect that child abusers are a more savvy lot than the average chucklehead who does something like this.
I'd imagine that the low hanging fruits are picked off by law enforcement pretty quickly.

#73So here's my thing: Imagine a world where facebook didn't exist. Would it have been impossible for this guy to get their photos and videos, post them on the internet? I guess facebook does make it easier to email things to family and friends - but it only does so with the user's consent - you have the option to make your friends list private. It seems to me like this guy is a real creep, and he should certainly be pu…

> Yes obviously the lesson is not to take pics like that in the first place, but sadly a lot of the victims may not be that computer savvy or mature enough to realize what a mistake those things can be. In a lot of cases pics like that are not even taken voluntarily but unknowingly.
could you elaborate on that? Honestly curious. EDIT: about the issue, not the materials in question!
Re: Facebook flooded with 'sextortion' and revenge porn, files reveal
#75I had a female friend last month whose ex-bf created a fake account and proceeded to set the profile and public photos and videos of them (having sex). He then went ahead and started sending friend requests to her entire family and friends. I felt so bad for her - it was awful enough to make her even have suicide thoughts. What really surprised me was how horrible the FB system to report stuff like this is. It is bas…
This guy is in the videos as well, right? Could she somehow strike back harder and demolish his reputation? Tell his friends and family, and his employer, what he did to her? Who the hell would send a video of themselves having sex with someone to that person's family?
I suppose that would depend on how well the guy knows about digital editing of video.
...for that matter, if you wanted to go the opposite way, and you had the right software (and a few other skills) - one could seriously put that guy in a very compromising situation by more digital editing...

Why? Just use two separate datasets, one of images of adults and children, to learn age, the other of porn and non-porn, to learn what's "nudity" or "sex".
Knowledge transfer training is really hard. If you can do this (with different categories, for instance, determining what is nudity, then determining black people, to automatically classify porn with black actors automatically), it would be quite impressive. Results have nearly 5% error on CIFAR-10, which is full of clearly distinct categories - planes versus boats.
Not only impressive, but likely very profitable.
> Results have nearly 5% error on CIFAR-10
Any idea what the error rate is for human classification on CIFAR-10 images?

Some of your questions come very close to blaming the victim, don't they? What the real shame here to me is that nude photos/videos are something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about in the first place. Because from that premise, now you need to be careful about what you allow to be filmed and by whom. It is especially sad that women apparently need too worry about this a lot more than men.
If it were simply nude photos or videos, then I could wholly agree with you. But it's not like this in all cases.
In many cases, these photos and videos are much more explicit; and while one shouldn't be ashamed of such videos, I can see the embarrassment aspect of them - there are some things that should remain in the bedroom between the participants unless they all agree to its public release.
Furthermore, these instances aren't just to friends and family, but usually employers as well. It could mean a loss of income or worse for a person. If it goes to people or leaders of their religious community, it could cause some devastating repercussions, depending on that community.

I presume the parent means where one of the participants sets up a hidden camera - for whatever reason (revenge, blackmail, self-gratification, monetary gain, etc).

I would call / message / text his mom. His sister. His boss. His dad. The new girlfriend.
