A new bill in California could make it illegal to upload videos and photos to what are called revenge porn websites. Revenge porn is big business. Hunter Moore built a strong online presence with his now-defunct site “Is Anyone Up.” The New York Times reports that he made up to $10,000 a month off of advertising for the site. He later sold the site and also landed in the middle of an FBI investigation. But, what exactly is revenge porn and what does the law do to protect against it? Find out below.
What is revenge porn?
Endrevengeporn.org says it’s defined as photos or videos taken or filmed without the subject’s consent. This can also include videos of sexual assault. Photos and videos of a sexual nature received within a relationship can also count as revenge porn if they are posted without the subject’s consent.
They are usually posted by ex-boyfriends, ex-lovers or ex-husbands.
What effects can it have on victims’ lives?
“It’s just an easy way to make people unemployable, undatable and potentially at physical risk,” University of Maryland Law professor Danielle Citron told the New York Times.
Marianna Taschinger, 23, told the publication that she had to give up her job and was stalked as a result of an ex-boyfriend posting nude photos of her online.
