Perhaps it's time for law makers to think about going after those who profit by hosting these images? I'd much rather see resources spent taking these guys down, over going after the likes of Mega.
A useful step. It's worth carefully parsing this section:<p>"(5)In proceedings for an offence under subsection (1), A has a defence if the following matter is established—<p>(a)B was in the intimate situation shown in the photograph or film,<p>(b)B was not in the intimate situation as a result of a deliberate act of another person to which B did not agree, and<p>(c)when B was in the intimate situation—<p>(i)B was in a place to which members of the public had access (whether or not on payment of a fee), and<p>(ii)members of the public were present."<p>.. which is kind of clunkily worded, but seems to be there to provide a defence for people taking photos of those voluntarily exposing themselves in public. I'm not quite sure how this will be applied to tabloid telescopic voyeurism. A sufficiently aggressive prosecutor could either kill the Daily Mail overnight or force them to admit that most of their "snaps" are in fact staged publicity.
Just curious, suppose you have 'private' pictures of someone that you took with their consent, is it legal show them around (without sharing them?)?
I listened to the story of Chrissy. My takeaway is "Before drinking until blacking out make sure you are in the right company!" People may change so practically there is no such thing as "right company"...
Stupid censorship. The only thing that should make "revenge porn" illegal is the copyright issue of the people who share this material not having the copyright.
Is all revenge porn barred under the law or are there circumstances to take into account? If your longtime spouse cheats on you, turns your world upside, and further abandons you, is not revenge porn some people's last power they have to (equally immorally) strike back?
How is this tech news? Oh, was it filmed and distributed using smartphones and internet? Yes, then it's a tech news.<p>Technology how to detect these type of content using AI - that could be a tech news, not merely a fact of some angry ex uploading naughty pics.
