We all know that with over a billion users, Facebook is the largest social network in the world, and has become the largest means of social communication that allows people to communicate with each other and share their experiences with other users.
However, sharing information, and above all, images on Facebook (or any other social network) entails a series of risks that, as obvious, we will not discuss now. Faced with this, Facebook has announced that is testing a number of new tools in India designed to prevent profile pictures from being copied or downloaded.
According to the information that has been made public, these new profile protection tools are optional, and when applied to images uploaded to Facebook, they prevent such images from being downloaded, or from being shared or sent via messages to Other users. A) Yes, if a person is not your friend on Facebook, the new tools will not allow him to tag anyone, nor themselves, in a profile photo. Also, these tools will prevent screenshots of profile pictures if displayed on an Android device.
In addition, Any profile image that already has these protection measures applied will be shown with a blue border and a shield around it. thereof.
According to the tests that Facebook is conducting in India, the willingness to copy an image to which such a design has been applied is reduced by at least 75 percent.
The social network has stated that if this trial period is finally successful, will extend these new image protection tools to other countries. Without a doubt, we hope that it will have a deterrent effect to anyone who intends to copy and use these photos without the consent of their owners. However, nothing will prevent a snapshot of the photo from being taken with another external device.
