'Revenge Porn,' the practice of posting explicit images without the person's consent, is flourishing

(15 Nov 2013) (Bites over vo: "it was just this blitz of embarrassment." "I felt completely humiliated, but, no, no worse than that. I was traumatized.") ANNEMARIE CHIARINI AND HOLLY JACOBS FOUND THEMSELVES IN THE SAME SITUATION. JACOBS' EX BOYFRIEND POSTED NUDE PHOTOS OF HER ONLINE, ALONG WITH HER NAME, EMPLOYER AND PHD PROGRAM. CHIARINI'S EX TRIED TO SELL A DVD OF HER EXPLICIT PHOTOS ON E-BAY. PHOTOS ALSO APPEARED ON X-HAMSTER-DOT-COM UNDER A FAKE PROFILE. BOTH SITES QUICKLY DELETED THE MATERIAL, BUT BEFORE IT COULD BE REMOVED, MORE THAN 4-THOUSAND PEOPLE HAD SEEN HER NAKED PHOTOS. SOUNDBITE (English) Annmarie Chiarini, Revenge Porn Victim: (bkgd noise) "what was going to happen next? And that was the fear. I was afraid to leave my home." THE PRACTICE, KNOWN AS 'REVENGE PORN' HAS FLOURISHED ON THE LARGELY-UNREGULATED INTERNET. UNDER FEDERAL LAW SITE OWNERS AREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTENT THEY DON'T CREATE. AND THE PEOPLE WHO POST IT ARE LARGELY IMMUNE. JACOBS WENT TO POLICE IN FLORIDA, OFFICERS EVEN APPROACHED HER EX LINKING HIS HOME COMPUTER TO SOME OF THE POSTINGS. SOUNDBITE (English) Danielle Citron, Univ. Of Maryland Law Professor: "and his response, much like every defendant's response, was oh, I got hacked. It's not me." LAW PROFESSOR DANIELLE CITRON IS AN EXPERT ON INTERNET PRIVACY. SHE'S HELPING MARYLAND DRAFT A BILL TO BAN NON-CONSENSUAL POSTING OF MATERIAL. BUT GROUPS LIKE THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION SAY THAT GOES TOO FAR. SOUNDBITE (English) Lee Rowland, Staff Attorney with the ACLU's Speech, Privacy and Technology Project: "it can't simply be that anytime we do something without another human being's consent that that becomes an issue for the criminal law. And particularly when first amendment freedoms are at stake." SOUNDBITE (English) Holly Jacobs, Revenge Porn Victim: "How does this qualify as free speech? How is this advancing our society?" THE A-C-L-U SAYS VICTIMS SHOULD SUE THEIR PERPETRATORS. BUT CITRON SAYS THAT'S EXPENSIVE, AND NOT THE ANSWER. ANOTHER PROBLEM, CITRON SAYS... POLICE OFTEN DON'T EVEN KNOW A CRIME IS BEING COMMITTED IN STATE'S THAT HAVE LAWS AGAINST REVENGE PORN. CITRON: "You go to law enforcement you tell them what's going on, absolutely educate them about the law." AFTER THAT, CHIARINI SAYS, DON'T BE ASHAMED SOUNDBITE: Annmarie Chiarini, Revenge Porn Victim: "As victims we have to push through that and we have to move past that and stand up and say I did nothing wrong." SHE NOW WORKS WITH HOLLY JACOBS' CYBER CIVIL RIGHTS INITIATIVE, AND HER SITE END REVENGE PORN DOT ORG TO HELP OTHER VICTIMS FIGHT BACK.
