You've missed the point entirely. Photos and video tapes of private moments are meant for private eyes. If they are released without consent, to cause mental anguish and humiliation, that is the violation.

If you do not partake in such bedroom artistic activities yourself, you are not necessarily a prude.

Allowing people to get away with destroying others via virtual vengence sounds like the epitome of an "anything goes", "valueless society." If your kid throws herself out the window because the local psycho filmed her and posted it on Fb without her knowledge, would you be OK with that?

I'm with Moonbeam. Besides, isn't posting porn on the internet a violation of interstate porn trafficking? It used to be illegal when it involved the US Postal Service.

Don't be ridiculous. I was clearly referring to those who knowingly posed without first considering that it could come back o haunt them.

"Knowingly posed" is rather vague, especially when many are often hardly of sound mind or maturity to determine potential consequences of this practice when done. Or, might have thought they could trust that somebody wouldn't be such a vindictive ******* as to post private, compromising things for all to see.

Sure, people need to take responsibility for their actions, but this bill at least gives people the ability to defend themselves against such attacks, knowing that few otherwise have the resources to mount a legal defense.

Sorry but the Magic '8' Ball says the probability is that you're just going to have to argue with yourself since a simple term like "knowingly posed" is quite explicit.

Yes. Because everything done in youth is done with deep knowing and grasp of future consequences. We are all born wise, if we only choose to exercise our vision. And for those who don't? Well, don't complain about those who act with deep personal responsibility to expose your stupid errors -- and laugh about it ... as they should!

What's a good lesson without humiliation and ruin?

[Ghostly1]

Oh, great. So let's trust and require government to solve every one of our problems. They do it so well, you know. Besides, I always did want to be absolved of all responsibility for anything and everything anyway. Someone please wake me when my turn comes up.

You're right -- we should simply let brain-dead, slimy creep sexual predators solve our problems instead. I like the plan! They do it so well.

Do you have the slightest notion what the purpose of government is? Why it exists?

Oh, I think so. But it's NOT to save us from ourselves in every case. Promoting the general welfare is one thing. Taking it to extremes is another, as are hyperbolic examples. But if you wish the gubmint to do all your thinking and decision-making for you then by all means, have at it. As for me, give me liberty...
