Microsoft launches cloud version of child porn detector
Microsoft has launched a cloud version of PhotoDNA, its free technology designed to detect images depicting child sexual abuse, giving more services and websites the chance to use it. PhotoDNA has been around for years, helping big companies like Facebook and Twitter (as well as Microsoft's own services OneDrive and Bing) identify illegal photos for purging. However, the original version has to be loaded onto a company's own servers to work and possibly requires hiring additional personnel with the technical knowledge to run it. Now that there's a version that runs on Microsoft's cloud, it can be used even by smaller companies and non-profit orgs.
