Finally Justice for victims of revenge porn site - 18 years Jail

[summerdays]

I think this is very true in relation to children. Thousands of kids are pressured into sending photos of themselves, often very explicit, to supposed friends who then pass them round. That often comes back and bites them.

We have a generation who somehow believe that their electronic communications are private. There is a real need for education otherwise.

Yes a friends child wasn't even pressurised, it was just part of the "conversation" that developed, and his mum was amazed that he had done it, though pleased he did tell her when the pressure started to be applied asking for more photos.

I think the current teenagers and 20 something's don't really fully comprehend the implications of their actions. I know of one now that has just spent 18 hours in a police cell for what he perceived as "fun".

while true the above doesn't really consider the double standards that we foster. From our attitudes to nudity and sex to our vast consumption of things, pornography and drugs spring to mind, that we label evil. Can we expect a 'war' on pornography to match?

I have greater concerns about what this says about the consumer and maybe a more fitting response would be to publish the details of all those that have downloaded/viewed these images. After all the subjects have been exposed so why not their customers?

 

[MacB]

Pardon? How is this relevant to a revenge site and children being pressured into sharing explicit pics?

For starters it's only a revenge site because of our attitudes to nudity and sex

 

[vernon]

But only one of us is blaming the victim, which is never right in my book...

That is your interpretation of what I wrote not mine.

 

[slowmotion]

Why "share" your jiggy moments? It's just stupid.

 

[MontyVeda]

They wouldn't have to suffer if they didn't bare all in the first place.

Act in haste, repent in leisure.

And if they hadn't allowed their friends/partners to take their photographs in the nude then they wouldn't be able to be exploited by unscrupulous gits. The consequences of their initial acts of folly were unforeseen but totally avoidable if they hadn't allowed them to happen in the first place.

I'm not excusing what he or the revenge porn posters did nor am I justifying what he did. They are all exploitative twats. I'm just presenting the other side of the argument.

I fail to understand the need to take naked pictures of your partner or the willingness to have them taken by your partner. It's not the same as saying 'serves you right for having your expensive bike stolen - you shouldn't have bought it.' No sensible person would leave their expensive bike unlocked and immobilised yet some women, it's nearly always female victims, willingly present unscrupulous men with the opportunity to steal their modesty, self respect and social standing.

There's a lot of education about the consequences of one's actions that needs to take place for both genders about their roles, responsibilities and possible consequences of their actions within their relationships. The internet has moved the boundaries of what damage is attainable by nasty people. Sadly society has a lot of catching up to do to curb the unsavoury activities of those who are willing and able to exploit it.

The genie has been let out of the bottle and it's going to be difficult to get it back in.

plenty of victim blaming going on there Vernon... what's your interpretation?

But only one of us is blaming the victim, which is never right in my book... but i do understand that we all have different 'books'.

There is a difference between "blaming the victim" and "learning from the victim"
Vernon is right... the only ay to prevent this is not to create the images in the first place. You cannot entirely trust your data to be secure as any account can be hacked, and your data stolen if you send it for repair

I already asked this, but... Dude. Seriously?

We've been creating naked images of each other for many years. That's unlikely to change.

Hammering twats who exploit folk is a good thing.

There is also a different moral climate and the rules are no longer clear as more and more people live in the worlds of FarceBook ans Twatter


The lines between what we old fuddy-duddies feel is private and what is public is blurred

I remember an article that was referencing this. They had chosen to follow a young lady who was on a night out. During the evening she had described everything in detail from how she saw a guy across the pub to explicit details of their later entanglements

The problem was that this is not that uncommon. The question raised was whether if someone is happy to reveal this level of privacy, then do they also apply that same level of privacy to others?

And the only way to prevent burglary is not to own anything.

It is not ideal, but whereas before these images were private and you chose to share and with whom, then that was more controllable.... now you can reveal the images to millions at the drop of a hat and the consequences change

The only way to prevent is not to take the images......

In reality you need to have a realistic idea that somehow, somewhere there is a god possibility that these images will end up on the internet, risk asses and act accordingly

Howzabout actually replying?

nobber

 

[ufkacbln]

Maybe some fuddy-duddies on here don't understand that in most cases the 'sharing' isn't public - it's between the two people concerned. When things go wrong between them, one of them betrays the trust of the other, hence the word 'revenge'. Of course that doesn't at all apply to those victims, usually women, who are photographed naked and asleep without their knowledge, and the pictures are then posted online. This is a nasty case, and the outcome is a good one.

Which is exactly the point about the risks

Sightly less emotive......

A partner wants to borrow a large sum of money

The risks are removed by not lending it
The risk is mitigated by putting safeguards in place such as formalising the loan
The risk can by increased by handing over a suitcase of used fivers

Then there is outright theft

Learning from others who have been through this would prevent or reduce the problem

This....why do people feel they have to pay hundreds to remove images of them having sex...is sex illegal...are those that practice it perverts, deviants...weirdos?

how could this lead to people loosing their jobs...what, like..."we are sacking you because you chose to have sex with someone"


For the record and to avoid any potential blackmail attempt in the future...I am a man who has sex, there, I've admitted it now, sorry for any offence.
