Facebook Open-Sourced 2 Tools to Detect Identical Photos and Videos

PDQ and TMK+PDQF will be made available via GitHub

Facebook open-sourced two tools that it developed to detect identical and nearly identical photos and videos, which it uses in its efforts to keep harmful content off its platform.

Global head of safety Antigone Davis and vice president of integrity Guy Rosen said in a Newsroom post that the two technologies that are being open-sourced— PDQ and TMK+PDQF—are among the suite of tools it uses to detect content such as child exploitation, terrorist propaganda and or graphic violence.
