Thank you for the link. When I read the original article about them making new laws, the libertarian in me twitches. Even moreso when I think about unintended consequences: As an example: what happens when someone is accused of revenge porn, yet is innocent? Similar to the original victim, the accused is also subjected to mob justice, and the court of public opinion makes up its mind based on whose story gets to the news wires first, fastest, and farthest. Consider, hypothetically: a woman uploads the pictures & videos herself, and then accuses her former lover, so that she can make his live hell for it. It could happen. That's where I get nervous about the idea being bandied about that making some new law to handle some specific thing will necessarily be effective ... it may, it may not, but the details and specific execution matter greatly. |
