We’re going to talk about Revenge Porn. What is it? Revenge porn is the nonconsensual sharing of someone’s private sexual images. Is it legal? No, but laws vary by state. Here’s a summary of the laws across the US: https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/revenge-porn-laws-by-state.html Illinois laws regarding the sharing of private sexual images applying to minors: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/documents/072000050K11-20.1.htm Is it ethical? No, sharing someone’s private sexual images without their consent is unethical. The law establishes a minimum standard of behavior that we’re supposed to abide by in order to keep each other safe, but our values and ethics are for raising the bar from “legal” to “good”. This isn’t just about legality, it’s about how we should treat each other as decent people.
