REVENGE PORN
|
REVENGE PORN  Yesterday, 'revenge porn' was made illegal in England and Wales after the passing of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act. Offenders may face up to two years in jail if convicted of 'revenge porn'. This Act defines 'revenge porn' as “photographs or films which show people engaged in sexual activity or depicted in a sexual way or with their genitals exposed, where what is shown would not usually be seen in public”. There’s a lot of discretion for judges there. 'Revenge porn' is the online posting of sexual images without the consent of the pictured individual. Often it’s done by someone, usually a man, to embarrass another person, usually a woman, after a relationship has ended badly. In 2014, Israel was the first country to outlaw 'revenge porn'. Germany, the Philippines, about 15 US states and the Australian state of Victoria have since outlawed 'revenge porn'. Canada, Japan, Scotland and Northern Ireland are planning to outlaw 'revenge porn'. I understand the revenge bit but I don’t understand why it’s called porn. But I do understand why 'revenge porn' isn't a good thing to do. Have you ever been 'revenge porn'-ed? Do you think 'revenge porn' should be criminalised? If you’ve had naughty photos taken of you and the relationship then fails, what do you do about the photos taken during the relationship? 'Revenge porn' is a very low thing to do, but I’m not fully convinced it should be criminalised. Criminalising things is easy; what’s more difficult is to convince people not to behave like this. Changing a culture is always more difficult than changing a law. I’ve been 'revenge porn'-ed - see below for a reluctantly posted image of me relaxing in a hotel bedroom taken by an ex-partner. This 'revenge porn' image has even made mainstream porn sites! I’m only joking!  |

Have you ever been 'revenge porn'-ed? Not to my knowledge and would be surprised if have. Do you think 'revenge porn' should be criminalised? I think not. It should have civil liabilities. After all when taken it must have been consensual If you’ve had naughty photos taken of you and the relationship then fails, what do you do about the photos taken during the relationship? Always delete them, it is a matter of personal responsibility

Have you ever been 'revenge porn'-ed? No. Can't be- don't have sex tapes. Do you think 'revenge porn' should be criminalised? That's a tough one- I agree with you on this one. If you’ve had naughty photos taken of you and the relationship then fails, what do you do about the photos taken during the relationship? As long as I'm gonna be masturbating, I may as well get some use out of the videos we made....Theoretically of course. there are no such photos or videos. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

It's about personal responsibility. The people who choose to post pictures of others (without their consent ) is no doubt an action intended to harm them. The problem then is about the morality of the poster, which goes back to the age old issue of trying to legislate morality. Personally, I think it's wrong to break the code of trust/honor & post pictures like that without the other persons consent (no matter how that other person hurt them emotionally - hence, "revenge"). It seems odd to me in this age of political correctness & "everyone gets a trophy", that shaming scumbag behavior like that is somehow now taboo (or even considered bullying?) The personal responsibility starts with you & what pictures/video you allow to be taken in the first place. After that, you are relying on the code of honor of that other person forever. After my ex (who I was with my entire life since high school) hit her mid-life crisis, she became a totally different person. She lied, cheated, stole all our money (just to name a few things). To say these things were out of character for the person I knew is a ridiculous statement, but it happened & we did have sexual pics & video we took over the years. I have all of them, but I would never post any of it because I don't choose to be a scumbag. I always thought it would be a matter of implied copyright ownership of the individuals involved. So without their written consent, you cannot post it anywhere. So it all comes back to the morals of the individual & how you wish to be defined by your actions (to post or not to post). For the people whom it happens to, I have empathy (since you never know how much someone can change). - J Ex Adult Film Camera Guy Single Again Now & Looking To...

I have never been revenged porned however my late husband did make a video of us once which was supposed to be just for his use....I discovered that he had shown it to a friend. The next time he went to watch it he found a 3 hour video of Sky News lol!! I simply taped over it. Any photos taken simply for private use should remain private and never published anywhere. I'm not sure how making it a criminal offence will stop it though....some people just don't understand what is morally right. Since that time I have never been photographed in such circumstances. ~~Anais Nin~~

I have never understood why, when a couple splits, are there these childish needs to hurt. My ex did this and raked me all over the coals in our small town. I know he did it to smear my name incase I decided to tell the world he is bi and a cross dresser. But all he accomplished was making himself look like an ass. It should be a criminal offense.

To date, I haven't been 'revenge-porn'd' but in the modern world, it's probably inevitable. Not only criminalised but the jail term should average 5 years, depending upon the harm done to the reputation of the person who did not consent to publication of the video or images and damages up to $100,000 awarded. If a relationship fails and there are images or video, they should be respectfully deleted by both parties, especially where faces or distinguishing marks are visible.

Some things should not be Kodak moments. If everyone played nice and acted nicely, there'd wouldn't be so many problems. But that's being Pollyannaish. I don't know what can be done to remedy the situation once someone's been "revenge porned". I suppose some punishment for the person who posted the pictures, just to discourage others from doing the same. The images can never be removed from the internet completely, so what's done is done. Best never to engage in that behavior in the first place. British revenge porn might be the only British porn you have left since most of it has been banned. When I was there, there was a sit in of sorts outside of the Houses of Parliament. What was the sit-in about?

Porn is porn and all is good hugs V  This was consenting porn but later not-consenting. How late can you not consent?

Posting revenge porn is cheap, low, pathetic etc but, unless there are other reasons in play, I don't think it should be criminalised. That's not me condoning it!

I think as soon as you allow a photo etc to be taken, you've lost control!

Laws mediate behaviour but behaviour also makes law. When it comes to the law to stop things, you know they're not going to stop!

I am not falling for it this time Hugh! I am starting to get wise to your ways. You know very well what kind of sit-in it was. There is just something not right about that though, Google the images, they look so, I don't know what. I suppose in private it looks that way too, but it's not something you are thinking about at the time and I don't go in for mirrored images. Here is an image for you of the face-sitin', this one does't look bad. Some of the others look as though they might be attempting something else entirely... I am not into that sort of thing.

A fine seems reasonable but the fine monies should go to the person porn-revenged!
| ||
|
I too don't think criminalising revenge porn will work. Naming and shaming is often more effective in preventing behaviour like this!
| ||
|
As you say, his face, expecting to see sex rather than the news, would be a picture to watch!
| ||
|
I'm only questioning that it's porn because it's real and not paid for.

Yes it was, you didn't see it? It was all over the news. It was in response to all the acts being banned in British porn, essentially a ban on all British porn. I am a little surprised Hugh, it seems like your kind of thing, thought it'd be in your google history for sure. xo
