\nApart from the issue of digital photography being permissible or not, the following should be a total deterrent from ever taking compromising photos of ourselves or our spouses.
\nTaken from BBC News:
\nWhat would you do if you found out that someone had posted naked pictures of you online, without your permission? It’s known as “revenge porn”, and in the age of mobile phone cameras and sexting, more and more people are becoming victims.
\nHollie Toups remembers in vivid detail the day that changed her life. The 33-year-old Texan was at work last year when a friend called to tell her there were naked pictures of her on a website.
\n“I left work and came home and ran upstairs and opened my computer,” she tells me at her home in the small town of Nederland in south-east Texas. We’re sitting on the same couch where she first typed in the address of the site.
\nA few clicks later Toups was looking at topless photos she’d taken for an ex-boyfriend when she was 24. And not just photos – posted alongside them were her name, links to her Facebook and Twitter accounts, a Google map of her location and a stream of comments.<\/p>\n
“If you take every negative emotion, it was all of those at once,” she remembers. “As you’re looking, people are in real time commenting on your photos, saying things like you need to be raped.”<\/p>\n
“I was in tears for days,” she tells me. She was afraid to leave the house, and when she eventually did, she was approached several times by men who had seen the photos.
\n“You’re being judged and shamed,” she says. “It erases the unspoken boundary of strangers, people think they know who you are and what you want, they approach you at will.”
\nToups initially suspected her ex had posted the photos. As the term “revenge porn” implies, it’s the most common way images end up on these sites.
\nBut among the photos posted online were some she had taken but never sent to anyone. Somehow her photos had been hacked or stolen.
\nRevenge-porn hackers may raid email or cloud storage sites to steal photos of a woman they have targeted, but Hollie thinks that in her case they may have been downloaded when she left her phone for repair.
\nIt turned out she wasn’t alone. Dozens of women in the area were finding their pictures on site, and suffering similar consequences. Some lost their jobs or their relationships. One contemplated suicide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
