Do you know that people sell or share the nudes sent by their friends or lovers?
First off, it is a criminal offence to disclose private communications, especially those involving nudity and sex.
There are many reasons why people engage in revenge porn.
Even though it is a crime and they should be prosecuted, how can people, especially women, protect themselves online?
Let’s say you even want to share unclad pictures of yourself because you are comfortable with your body, but you shouldn’t show everything, at least cut out your face. You also don’t have to be nude, be a tease.
Snapchat, WhatsApp, Telegram and Instagram have features that help you delete pictures or allow them to view them once, Twitter does not. Don’t leave your pictures on the chat; always delete them as quickly as possible. You can also turn on the view once feature, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
You don’t want to be recorded without your consent, so look around for cameras and laptops that might just be opened. You can put off the light and put on your flashlight to notice any blinking lights.
Let’s say in the heat of the moment, it seemed like a bright idea to record a sex tape. After it has been done, you can watch and enjoy it but make sure and confirm that it is deleted. Check their phones yourself. You can also do the same for nudes.
This is a fairly simple idea. A common saying is the best form of attack is defence. What better way to be safe than keeping your nudes to yourself and vehemently refusing to record sex tapes?
