Facebook has once again provoked controversy after the discovery it is possible to search for photos of female friends on its social network, but not male ones. 脸书上可以搜索女性好友照片，而男性好友的照片却搜不到，这一发现又把脸书推向风口浪尖。 The feature was spotted by Belgian security researcher Inti De Ceukelaire, whose findings led to further revelations that Facebook prompts its users to search for photos of female friends in bikinis. 比利时安全研究员Inti De Ceukelaire发现这一现象，另外，脸书会让用户搜索到其女性好友穿比基尼的照片，又进一步证实了他们的发现。 “Facebook has modified their creepy hidden search feature this weekend,” he tweeted earlier this week. “You can no longer retrieve hidden photos from your male friends. Women can/may still be stalked.” 本周的早些时候他发推文表示，“这个周末，脸书已经修改了被他们隐藏的、很恶心的搜索功能，你搜索不到男性好友的隐藏照片，但是却可以搜索女性好友的照片。” He continued: “Even more: When you request photos from your male friends, Facebook assumes that you wanted to see pictures of women. *Facepalm*” 他接着称：“甚至，当你搜索你男性好友的照片，脸书还会认为你想要看女性的照片。“捂脸”的表情包。” Screen shots of the issue accompanied his tweets, prompting responses that Facebook is “sexist” due to the way its internal search feature functions. |
