For just $1.99 iPhone users can now quickly access all their Facebook friends’ most scantily-clad moments. The new app, Badabing! uses object detection technology to identify which photos reveal the most skin, listing them as thumbnails the user can quickly scan, share and bookmark as favorites.

Badabing! bills itself as “the only social image recognition app,” and offers to “find your friends’ sexy pics instantly.”

Badabing!’s Web site explains how creator Erick Barto originated the concept “after repeatedly having to search through Facebook pics to show his friends photos of girls he met the previous night.”

While proponents of the app state the photos it selects were posted to Facebook by choice, the app has already drawn slews of critics, ranging from civil liberties to child advocate groups.

This mobile phone application provides a stark warning about the loss of control that you have once you have uploaded photos and information about yourself to the internet,” said Big Brother Watch deputy director Emma Carr. “Privacy is clearly at the very back of the designers mind when creating an application that enables this kind of search to be easier when it, in fact, it should be made more difficult.”

And, since the object recognition technology used by the app can’t determine what skin it identifies, users are likely to receive a host of baby pictures, which critics say will only draw pedophiles to the app. In fact, the Internet Watch Foundation already reported more than 12,000 instances of girls who posted seductive photos on Facebook which later turned up on pornographic Web sites.

Regardless whether you think the Badabing! app is a clever use of technology or a creepy one. Don’t upload photos to Facebook and share them with friends unless you want them to be seen. Especially if you’re in a bikini or tight swim trunks.
