What is revenge porn?
Revenge Porn is the sharing of private, sexual materials, either photos or videos, of another person without their consent and with the purpose of causing embarrassment or distress. The images are sometimes accompanied by personal information about the person, including their full name, address and links to their social media profiles.
The idea of revenge porn is not new, but with the rise of the Internet, it has become a booming business, spawning roughly 3,000 websites specializing in nonconsensual pictures. The people who frequent these websites take perverse pleasure in the fact that the pictures were posted without the subject’s consent (and sometimes without their knowledge, especially in the case of deepfakes and upskirting) and routinely post demeaning or offensive comments about the victim.
In an additional violation, these websites often dox the victims, posting private information, such as their name, age, home address, email address, employer, and social media information, by their picture. Viewers then use this information to contact and harass the victim. They also use it to find out more about the individual or uncover additional images, sometimes hacking into the person’s email account to do so.
Revenge porn perpetrators also upload images and videos to mainstream pornography websites.
How leaked video footages are obtained
The term “revenge porn” doesn’t cover all cases. It isn’t always an ex that posts images on the internet after a relationship. Sometimes the images are obtained by strangers through a hack. This is often the case with celebrities, such as actors and musicians. Sometimes, hackers install malware on a device to be able to spy on you through your own webcam. Consequently, they’re able to blackmail you with this illegally obtained footage.
Revenge porn is often shared massively on websites and within so-called expose groups. These are private chat groups or websites that are used to spread leaked private images. Revenge porn can be shared simply and within a matter of seconds, which makes it all the more devastating for the victim. After all, just one person could share the video or photo with their entire friend network with just one click.
