I think it depends on how it was obtained. The major point has to do with consent. If you willingly share nude photos or videos with another person, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy or that said media won't necessarily be shared. And, once that media has been transferred, it is in the possession of another individual. I know it sounds harsh, but it is not the government's right or responsibility to protect people from their own free speech or the speech of another.
I agree completely. I believe that if the images were obtained without the person's consent, then sharing it should be illegal. I'm talking about the situation where a person willingly shares explicit photos of himself or herself, at which point there isn't an expectation of privacy.
Think about it like this. We are taught that anything that we post online, even what we believe to be private, can be made public and be held against us. Therefore, we are responsible for everything we post online. However, nudity is the one legal exception to this rule. Why?
And to be quite frank, I don't think that anyone ought to be taking nude images of himself or herself. It's very strange behavior to me.
Sending nude pictures on dating apps has been a 'thing' for over twenty years. The straights might have been later to the game but it's still not a recent phenomenon. And partners share pictures. That doesn't give make anything 'domain' and their absolutely
is an expectation of privacy.
