Education is key here - we the tech-savvy, need to make more of an effort to educate those less so, on how to remove files from their devices that could prove compromising in the future.

Naturally, I understand that what I've just said isn't the whole answer, but I really do think it's a good place to start.

No, the problem is victim blaming and criminalizing nudity.

> Despite this, Tanzania’s cybercrime unit said that NCII cases are few and far between, with the head of the Cybercrime Unit, Joshua Mwangaza insisting it is not in the country’s culture to send “porn pictures.”

Yeah, that’s some gaslighting right there.

I think the key here would be to change to laws so that victims of non-consensual release of pictures are not charged.

If you are going to change the laws, why not just make pornography legal and use the freed policing to go after illegal hacking of secure devices...

[DocTomoe]

What does "hacking of secure devices" even mean? A device that can be successfully hacked is by definition not secure.

If you want to tackle this issue, get the pornography legislation done with, prosecute distribution of images without consent (with safeguards not to stifle legitimate journalism) and educate people not to create their own kompromat - a nude picture that has not been made cannot be leaked.

Indeed, but I'm not really holding my breath that Uganda is going to change its laws any time soon. Not much you or I can do about this, so education is the next best thing that can make a meaningful difference.

Both of these are true of course. People need to be aware of the dangers online, and learn how to protect themselves from scammers and other predators. But punishing the victim is utterly ridiculous.

Getting laws changed is hard, educating others is easier, and if we all made the effort, the law change wouldn't be necessary.
