Скачать или смотреть Outlawing Revenge Porn: How Congress Can Protect Privacy and Reduce Online Harassment

Abuse exists in many forms on the Internet. While many malicious online activities are considered crimes, the distribution of sexually explicit images without the subjects' consent—commonly referred to as “revenge porn”—continues to exist in a legal gray area throughout much of the United States. Revenge porn can have dramatic consequences for victims, damaging their reputations and job prospects, subjecting them to threats, and intimidating them into silence. Because there is no universal legal recourse, victims are often unable to stop the spread of images or take action against the perpetrator.

Join ITIF and an expert panel for a discussion about how policymakers can criminalize revenge porn, while protecting important speech on the Internet. Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), who introduced the Intimate Privacy Protection Act, will deliver opening remarks.
