CA: Pols aim to censor “revenge porn” postings"State lawmakers are attempting to limit a distressing social media phenomenon known as 'revenge porn,' where spurned suitors post intimate photos of their ex-lovers on the Internet for all to see.
The Assembly is set to debate a bill that would make such conduct punishable by up to a year in jail, while Gov. Jerry Brown is considering separate legislation that would make it a crime to impersonate or bully a domestic violence victim online. The measures are forcing lawmakers to consider where to draw the line between unfettered free speech and privacy rights."

Obviously, in Mexifornia, the First Amendment is a flexible thing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe people should think twice before posing naked for anyone!
ReplyDeleteI don't agree its a copyright issue. The copyright in such images is generally not controversial.
ReplyDeleteIt is really more a privacy/confidence issue.
