Posting Nudes is BAD

Exactly, and you can't really trust when someone says "yep it's deleted".

Quite; especially if it is a purely prurient exchange, the chances that the other party gives two ****s about your dignity is so stupid it is indecent in itself.

Is it legal-ish, then? Or is it more socio-legal, how to deter and manager offenders? I have a slight interest in SOA2003 from a legal POV, so it is interesting to see how you might go about the disso.

Spoiler

I think Revenge Porn is very current in both domains. If you are interested in Revenge Porn from a sexual offences perspective, Prof Clare McGlynn, an academic at Durham University has put a lot of focus on Revenge Porn as a sexual offence, despite the fact it is not recognised so by statute. The Governments stance is that Revenge Porn is not classified as a sexual offence as it is not considered a contact offence.

My dissertation is concentrating on the connotations of the term Revenge Porn and looking to address some of the complexities associated with its use.

And the worst part is you can't do much to save face, let alone prevent the spread

I'm mildly annoyed by the fact that there is the occasional topic, of a person sending pictures of themselves nude and later on get worried it has been misused. Regardless of age, sending nudes normally is a very bad idea because

1. You can never always trust someone that they'll keep it private- this 'trust' is the reason why people blindly send nudes of themselves, and then the person shares it with others

2. Even if you trust the person, there is always the looming possiblity of hackers and malicious software that could get hold of these. This can put you in a very embarrasing and troublesome predicament

3. For most of us, it would not look pretty if someone stumbled across them off-chance

While I understand people have intimate relationships, really the ideal way is to actually be with them (if you or your partner is that desperate to see nudes). That way, they have nothing compromising on you and it will be a bit more dignified. Just dont post nudes, because it can take a dark turn fast :mad:

It depends on the person, I can't really say I'd be that bothered about my nudes appearing online and I don't have my face in them anyway 🤷

Even though it is currently an offence under section 33 of CJCA 2015 to disclose private sexual media with intention to cause distress? Does s33 not meet your definition of "revenge porn"?

For me, I fear s33 might be too narrow in that it does not cover non-revenge but non-consensual disclosure. For instance, you share with your friends in Brazil your partner's intimate photos (using military-grade encryption so that no one but your friends might see the images), you have not a reasonable expectation that the "victim" would ever know, and you could not be said to expect that the victim might be distressed. Indeed, s33(8) goes to say that there must be direct intention of causing distress rather than that was "a normal and probable consequence of the disclosure". Even if you had an expectation they might be distressed, unless this was a direct intention, you might be safe unless a judge is particularly creative in interpreting the legislation.

Seems to allow sharing amongst your friends and lots of other humiliating acts.

The Governments stance is that Revenge Porn is not classified as a sexual offence as it is not considered a contact offence.

Does this make a difference, given there are plenty of non-contact offences under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and this bill would be S67A of SOA? Is the difference in sentencing?
