Cyberbullying and sharing intimate images without consent

[speedog]

New legislation for cyberbullying and sharing intimate images without consent - link.

One would like to think it could be as simple as one just doesn't allow pictures to be taken of one's self nude but with the proliferation of digital cameras/recording media, I guess this is just a bit too much to ask for. Years ago if one took any sort of intimate photo, you took your chances in getting it developed somewhere or you developed it yourself - these days it's all at your fingertips in your cellphone. Add to that how communication has changed in relationships with social media/texting/cell phones and it is not unimaginable how someone might post a picture out of revenge or to be a braggart.

It will be interesting to see if this new legislation changes any behaviours - it is a tool for the legal system but like with speeding or distracted driving laws, there are still many that break those laws regardless of the possible known consequences.

Seriously? What a retarded waste of time. Laws already exist and they certainly don't need more. Our government must be having a really slow year.

I think it is a great idea.

People don't seem to think they have to act maturely when there is a piece of glass between them and the real world.

Be it a wind shield or a computer monitor, people can be sociopaths when they are not held to account.

Yay more laws to govern a persons idiocy.

There are lots of idiots that need to be restrained.

This law may have prevented that little girl in Vancouver from committing suicide. Wasn't it a creepy pedophile that put her picture on the net?

If you don't want naked pictures of yourself on the internet, don't take naked pictures of yourself.

i thought the person who takes the picture owns the rights to the picture

What about a badge, or a judges bench, or a parliament building or in a Humvee?

Do you see the contradiction here? What is worse, posting nudies of an ex gf or sending troops into iraq to fight, die and terrorize foreign populations.

They do... until they post it somewhere. Then no. For example, your pics that you add to Facebook are no longer owned by you.

What about a cow, or an duck, or a chicken or on a horse? Do you see the contradiction here? What's worse, posting nudies of an ex gf or the enslavement and rampant consumption of our animal brethren.

I saw many people in high school learn the hard way. Too many young women trying to win the affection of a crush or something of the sort.


There was the odd male that would fall for it too.

I look at women a little differently than some men. I appreciate them and care for them.

It takes a lot for a woman to trust, and when she does, she gives herself to you. And when you part ways, a woman is usually sad but ready to move on.

Some men however are built differently. They sleep with a woman and call her whore, and if she dares break up with a man, she gets threatened or has the symbol of her trust pasted all over the internet.

The way some men treat women disgusts me. I think the men that don't want womens nude pics restricted, just don't get any of the real thing and have to pull it to a picture.

Oh he wishes that any of my posts could be construed as illegal cyberbullying in any way

The cyberbullying legislation is a joke anyways, it just gives judges more direct tools to deal with situations that were already criminal code offences ( like forcing kids off FB etc in the event of a judgment).

Criminal Harassment has already been illegal for decades, and the definitions of what classifies as criminal harassment have not changed.

The intimate images section is the only part that is new or has any teeth. Basically stating that if anyone wants images removed they can have the courts force people and have whoever distributed them pay for the costs associated with removal.

Beyonce tried that once, didn't work

Yeah, also, if you don't want to get raped, don't dress provocatively.

/You drank too much and passed out, so you deserve to be raped.
/Don't piss off your boyfriend if you don't want to get hit
/Don't become a victim of anything because it's the victims fault that it happened to them

In relationships, people like to have fun. That might include sharing pictures. Most people have the moral capacity to realize it's a shitty thing to share these pictures after the relationship ends, as some pathetic method of revenge. This law is probably a result of shitty human beings being shitty.

Do we tell people who are involved in serious not-at-fault collisions that they should not have been driving because "if you don't want to get into a crash, don't drive a car". That's fucking stupid - We educate drivers on safety, and we promote better habits. We need to change the culture of using sex as an excuse to discriminate just because we think we own our partners.

What is wrong with some of you?

You have a little community, of what seems to be very immature people. You get together and flame anyone that doesn't agree with your groups consensus.

I am against cyberbullying because I think some people don't feel the need to be moral if no one is watching them.
