We're gonna think about that and see how we can improve the system.
We could imagine a system of "moderation" where x posts are taken randomly each day for detailed verification and users that are violating copyright rules would be put on the blacklist (but that means manpower).
Or maybe an automated solution can at least exclude flagrant copyright violations.
It might take some time as it is a complex problem and I'm alone for the coding part.
Oh, I am just very curious... is there any way to detect the EXIF image properties? I think there is a way to find out whether it is original or not because of some signatures from phones, for example?
I wonder does the mainstream apps have these things?
(Since there is no privacy at all in their eyes lol)
That's a great idea for the automated solution, I will have to look into it. But Instagram I think (I'm no specialist) you can already post only from your phone, so if you wanted to copy content, it would also seem like a photo taken by a mobile phone.
And for the mainstream apps, I have no idea but I think they are confronted to the same problems, and have no way to resolve it, or we wouldn't be here trying to find a solution :D
Well, if you can solve this, you can be a millionaire!
I am glad that idea prompted you to look in to the Image properties.
At least that can retain some originality. Because I know that when you post a phone it even has GPS location (which is super creepy but useful to detect certain things and copyright content)
You had me at millionaire. ;-)
Gonna take a deep look into that :D
haha, don't forget me when you got it figured out. :p
Haha, I won't :D
Already looking into EXIF metadata...
Keep you posted :)
