Facebook Adds a New Tool to Enhance the Privacy of the Photos Shared

Facebook's latest addition of the new privacy tool is here to take the privacy of the images shared to the next level. The social media giant is working towards introducing a new tool that will allow users to increase the protection level of their photos across both Facebook and Instagram. The new feature will be labelled as 'Rights Manager for Images'.
 
The feature will be a part of Facebook's Creator Studio, wherein the right owners will have more control over the images that are released by them. As a first step, the right owners are required to submit a copy of the image, including a CSV file with the image mega data.  

Later, these images will then be uploaded to a Reference Library that will be used by the Rights Manager to locate the matches across Facebook and Instagram. After finding the matching content, the rights holder will have the option to monitor, block or take down the images.  

A lot of misuse of photos is seen to be taking place in the past few months. As of now, photographers were said to have limited means to protect their content against Facebook platforms.  

With the introduction of the Rights Manager for Images, it will become easier to find and match images that have been used as embeds.
