The best way to avoid ones' sex tapes appearing on the net is not making any in the first place. But that seems to be a bit too complicated for some.
Missing the point entirely. Sex tapes between consenting adults shouldn't be an issue, and leaking them to shame, denigrate or otherwise harm someone should be a sex crime that puts you on a list. There's a fair chance that it is under Virginia law, but I expect governor Glenn "Voter fraud is NBD when my kid does it twice" Youngkin to ignore the law when he likes the criminal.
Yeah, but this wasn't a private sex act. She and her husband performed publicly on chaturbate.
By "leaking" the tape, they literally just pointed people to one of those sites that automatically archives chaturbate shows.
I completely agree that that's irrelevant to politics, but it feels like a stretch to call the taping of a public broadcast to be revenge porn.
I think that's the problem, it wasn't an automatic archive.
She and her husband were streaming on Chaturbate. Someone archived the videos.
A month after she announced her candidacy, someone took the archived copies and uploaded them.
A little different than if she or her husband did it themselves or if it were automatic. The timing seems retributive.
Are you sure it's not from an automated archive? The news sites I saw made it sounds like they were just pulling stills from recurbate or one the similar clones that are just automated archives.
No doubt the timing of the story being raise was retributive, but it's not illegal to point out something a candidate did publicly that might be embarrassing to them.
If it were automated, it wouldn't have waited until one month after she filed as a candidate. ;)
Automating crime doesn't make it not crime. Giving some people permission to watch you fuck doesn't give everyone permission to watch you fuck. Please take some time to look at yourself and consider why you want so badly for this to be fine when it's obviously not.
Again, it was public on chaturbate, they literally gave everyone in the world over 18 permission to watch them fuck. This is a matter of whether giving everyone in the world permission to watch you fuck entitles them to tape it and reshare it or replay it. Morally that's a lot more nuanced than a private sex show.
Also, from other comments in here it seems like legally based on the terms of service they agreed to they explicitly did give permission for their public performance to enter the public domain.
Please take some time to go fuck yourself (on or off stream) for not so subtly implying that I have any emotional stake in this, instead of just trying to have a nuanced discussion about the ethics around recording a public performance.
You're simply wrong. What you're saying just is not the truth.
Lol this comment is the equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and going lalalala
Not OP, I'm confused. Did the couple not take money to live stream sex to the world?
She willingly agreed to terms of service that enter these consensual videos into the public domain. I'm sorry but you are simply wrong.
What a shitty take.
