Facebook's New Features.


              Facebook having billions of users across globe releases new features often. There has been many new features like owning the Facebook account after the death of the existing user. Recently a new feature has been rolled out by Facebook.

              The latest features involves many such as 

1. Notifying Impersonated Profiles
2. Non-consensual intimate images
3. Photo Checkup

                Impersonated profiles are the profiles that are created with the same profile pictures and same name with the motive of defaming the person. Profile impersonating is the common thing for celebrities. The new feature of Facebook is to notify the users if the same profile name and the same picture exists.

                Non-consensual images are the concept of reporting any nudity in the photograph to avoid any unwanted materials from circulating through Facebook.

                Photo Checkup is similar to that of the privacy setting available in Facebook.It is the dedicated feature of editing who can see the pictures uploaded and who cannot.

                The main problem with the Notifying the Impersonated profile is that what if the person not in Facebook has been impersonated and if he / she joins later which profile will be detected as fake profile. 

                The features are yet to be released officially and it uses the advanced Facial recognition software for detecting the fake accounts.

P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
