'Revenge porn' should be a crime

[jillian]

I'm not sure it should be a crime. I'd have to think on that one.

what about sharing someone's private (not public) image without their consent shouldn't be a crime?

 

[BlueGin]

Revenge porn legislation was passed by both the house and senate this week in my state. Yay for Progress.

Absolutely this should be crime. Unless you get the person's consent IN WRITING, you should not be able to post the video online and ruin someone's life out of spite.

In college I made a video with an ex of mine and when she cheated on me with a friend I thought about publicizing the video, but chose not to. She would have been devastated and it would have been utterly wrong regardless of what she did to me.

I am glad I never did it.

Good for you. Integrity is rare these days. But yes... Women ( and men) can have a stupid and weak moment... And it shouldn't cost them. Hell... I have pics that I'm sure certain women would have a fit over if they knew they were in my possession. There are certain things you should never send. Nude photos is one of them.

*****************************************************************



(CNN) -- "Jane" allowed her ex-boyfriend to take her naked photograph because, he assured her, it would be for his eyes only. After their breakup, the man betrayed her trust.

On the revenge porn site UGotPosted, he uploaded her naked photo and contact information. Jane received calls, e-mails, and Facebook friend requests from hundreds of strangers, many of whom wanted sex.
After the site refused to take down the post and the anonymous calls and e-mails intensified, she turned to law enforcement. According to the officers, nothing could be done because her ex had not engaged in a harassing "course of conduct," as required by criminal harassment law, and because he had not explicitly solicited others to stalk her.

Criminal law should have a role in deterring and punishing revenge porn. It's not new that certain types of privacy invasions are crimes. Many states prohibit the nonconsensual taking of sexually explicit images -- the disclosure of someone's naked images should be criminalized as well.

But in all but one state, New Jersey, turning people into objects of pornography without their permission is legal. A single post, however, can go viral and ruin someone's life.

Revenge porn and its ilk raise the risk of offline stalking and physical attack. Fear can be profound. Victims don't feel safe leaving their homes. Jane, who is a nurse, did not go to work for days. As many victims have told me, they struggle especially with anxiety, and some suffer panic attacks. Revenge porn victims withdraw from online engagement, shutting down their social media profiles and blogs to prevent strangers from finding them online. They cannot participate fully in our networked age.

Old thread I note, but there's a lot going on now about it being made illegal. As well it should be. Can google revenge porn legality for links.

Yep. Thought of it today as I was reading a list of all the things that passed both houses today... As well as the things that were not.

Luckily revenge porn is now illegal in this state.

Porn industry is a part of our life. It is a cultural phenomenon more. Of course it has some definite genres. I don't think it should be banned. It is like to ban horror films or smth like that. It won't work I believe.

Being stupid enough to get duped like that should be a crime too, but, it isn't.

 

[Muhammed]

I'd have to see the porn.

is it a sex act? then yea

is it her acting naughty? suck it up and grow up.

aside from that, its his word against hers.

I think I need to examine the alleged porn before I make a judgement call on this one .

Being young trusting and in love can make both men and women stupid. They ain't always thinking rationally. Shouldn't have to suffer because of the actions if a mentally disturbed preditor.

This is a subset of individual privacy. Companies such as Facebook and Google make enormous profits violating the privacy of individuals...and our government has us under constant surveillance. I'm far more concerned about them than some random vengeful boyfriend.

Hell... I have pics that I'm sure certain women would have a fit over if they knew they were in my possession.

There are certain things you should never send. Nude photos is one of them.

indeed, true integrity is rare...

so let me get this straight..women have sent you naked photos but they're unaware that naked photos are in your possession..?

I think women should be much more retaliatory against abusers.

many lawyers are working on it diligently...



BlueGin do tell about those nude photos of women in your possession.

one can assume that if they were sent to you by those women themselves, then they would know about them.

so, one can conclude by your statements that naked photos of women were given to you by someone else.

interesting. i'm sure photo shop could certainly make a person appear to be nude.

here, we are in a thread about revenge porn, where you are the OP...

how odd that you would now state that you have such photos of women in your possession.

How so?

I am unaware of anything these companies do that violate my rights.

Why would you consider that odd?

It really is not all that unusual tbh.

 

[BlueGin]

Not to mention the comment was pretty self explainitory. A woman I know sent nude photos to a guy she was dating...he still had them after the relationship ended and I found them while going through some other old junk.

That's why I said... never send nude photos... You never know where they will end up.

 

[Valerie]

considering your other lies and false accusations, within the backdrop of similar type threats as in your OP, your post seems like a back handed threat made by another sock puppet playing coy with the topic...

 

[BlueGin]

Is there a certain reason you biddies seem to think everything is about you?

 

[Valerie]

Is there a certain reason you biddies seem to think everything is about you?

you chose who to you made false accusation toward, your ass is thus exposed...

 

[BlueGin]

What false accusations?

 

[Valerie]

sorry i'm not feeding into your drama, skank... mr sock puppet believes you.

So... once again... no false accusations to be seen.

Damn.
