S2 Ep3 – Revenge Porn


Listen Later

In the final episode of the Porn Series, we explore the legal framework surrounding non-consensual porn through the lens of Revenge Porn. Revenge Porn general refers to the uploading and distribution of sexually explicit material to embarrass or intimate another. During government mandated shutdowns at the early stages of the Corona Virus outbreak, reports of revenge porn increased dramatically. Based on this, we have decided to educate our listeners on the legal consequences of posting non-consensual porn both from a criminal and civil law perspective. In this episode, we explore the different regulatory approaches to revenge porn by looking at legislation in Austria, Uganda, Nigeria and South Africa. Finally, this episode will provide some practical advice on the removal of sexual content posted online.
