TikTok, Bumble join initiative to prevent sharing of non-consensual images

Social media platforms TikTok and Bumble have joined an initiative to prevent the sharing of non-consensual intimate images online.

The social media platforms partnered with StopNCII.org (Stop Non-Consensual Intimate Image Abuse), which hosts a tool developed in partnership with Meta.

TikTok, Bumble, Facebook and Instagram will detect and block any images that are included in StopNCII.org’s bank of hashes, reports Engadget.

The website uses on-device hashing technology through which people being threatened with intimate image abuse can create unique identifiers of their images, (also known as ‘hashes’ or digital fingerprints).
