What Is Revenge Pornography?

Revenge pornography, also known as image-based abuse or non-consensual pornography, refers to the sharing of intimate and/or sexually explicit material, such as photos or videos, of a person without their consent, usually in an effort to harass, threaten, embarrass, or cause emotional distress. It is a serious invasion of privacy and can have devastating consequences for the victims. The sharing of such material without consent is considered a serious privacy violation and is illegal in many jurisdictions.
