Facebook wants you to upload naked pictures of yourself to help them, really

I read the article - it's basically "send Facebook a nude picture of yourself, that might have been compromised, if someone tries to post it, we'll stop it.

By sending a naked pic, to "protect yourself"????

Funny, when my wife grew up in upstate New York, they had a project where -- as a teen - you were supposed to surrender yourself to the county sheriff's office and they would issue a "Sheriff's ID" to you -- but the REAL reason was to put together a book full of teens' mugshots -- so if there was a crime, some old lady could finger the miscreant. There was a book of "suspects".

In this day and age - divulging as little personal info on yourself on the web is a good idea. I don't think this "protection program" is going to fly very far.
