Slightly different than the Facebook thing. Facebook already know what you look like, who your friends are and how they relate to numbers on your phone contacts, along with a majority of the websites you visit. So naked pictures and sending them your fingerprint is about all that is left.

I can imagine there are some situations where someone doesn't want their mother to see a picture of a dragon dildo up their arse but still having second thoughts about uploading such a picture to Facebook....

Facebook already has technology that recognises faces in photo's and does so. Not a Facebook user so not sure how it works in practise.

As to if they could be modified to recognise someone from their genitals or birth marks....

If they do it by hash of a photo then yeah, 1 pixel will sort that. But I think checking the hash is just the first stage to quickly reject many. The next stage would spot a few pixels changed. if you resized it, turned it to another format or changed the pixel ratio to make it wider/longer can also easily be spotted too.
