No kidding. If you send your potentially embarrassing photos to them, they'll create a special "hash signature", and throw the picture away. That way, if a miscreant, malcontent, or any other all around bad person tries to upload it, they'll tell in a flash, delete the picture, and see that the varlet gets their justice!

Update: Well, I do stand corrected. This isn't the dumbest thing in the world, although it does seem that way. They have worked with actual experts in law enforcement and mental health, and have spent some serious thought on the problem, and it looks like if it's not a solution of part of the problem, it's a genuine Good Try.
The files to send to Facebook are actual ones that have either escaped to the web, or are expected to go, and Facebook will match them using fuzzy hashes, which can survive past some image manipulation like cropping, resizing, and re-rezzing ( I think ).
To Facebook, you have my actual respect for actually trying something bold against a really hard problem.
