If your nude photos are posted online without your permission, Microsoft and Google want to know.
For years, most victims of revenge porn â people who have had their nude photos shared online without permission â basically couldnât do anything about it.
According to one study, over 50% of all adults engage in sexting, and 70% admit to having received a nude photo online or over the phone.
And yet, despite the fact that we all (or at least more than half of us) do it, thereâs still this weird, persistent, harmful notion that if your naked pictures get leaked or shared maliciously by an ex online, itâs your fault for taking them in the first place.
Itâs completely backward, but sadly, the law seems to at least kind of agree.
As of September 2014, New Republic found, putting someone elseâs illicit photos online without their consent was illegal in just 16 states, though laws have been proposed in more states. Not only is it typically impossible to prosecute the perpetrator, they note, itâs impossible to legally compel websites to take the images taken down most of the time.
But thankfully, Microsoft and Google â which operate two of the biggest search engines on the web â donât think itâs your fault. And theyâre finally saying âEnough is enough.â
