Revenge Porn
Idiotic Republicans and Democrats join together to
criminalize private romantic quarrels
Jail time for so-called "revenge porn". I smell hack politicians pandering for votes.
The hot button phony issue of the day is poor downtrodden women . . . women who just happen to vote.
Revenge porn could apply to either sex as well as lesbians and gays, but the hacks are targeting women to get votes. The politicians want you to ignore the fact the photos were posed for voluntarily. Ignore that. Put everyone in jail.
People fall in love and sometimes break up. Bad breakups can produce all kinds of painful and unhealthy fallout: severing relationships with friends, dividing your mingled possessions, seeking solace in alcohol, putting nude pictures and videos of your ex on the Internet.
Commonly referred to as "revenge porn," the practice of posting or disseminating lascivious images and footage without someone's consent has captured politician's vote pandering imagination and the California Senate has passed a bill penalizing those involved.
The legislation, authored by Sen. Anthony Cannella, R-Ceres, and backed by organizations like the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence and the California Sheriffs' Association, makes revenge porn a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or jail time.
Yeah, let's put people in prison for posting photos that the other party voluntarily posed for.
Cannella floated Senate Bill 255 after being approached by a constituent dismayed that an ex had shared photos that "were intimate in nature," reports the Sacramento Bee.
"That was the initial exposure," Cannella said (no pun intended).
In looking for a way to attract votes Cannella claims he did some research and discovered that not only is cyber revenge more widespread than he realized, it's also not illegal. Someone whose privacy has been violated can seek redress in civil court, but Cannella wants them in jail.
The pandering hacks look down on women and think females are weak and helpless and cannot go to civil court. So let's jump up a private dispute to the criminal level and have government prosecutors put people in jail for private quarrels.
A single senator voted against the bill. Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, said he rejected the measure -- also opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union -- because he feared it would undermine First Amendment freedoms.
"While I appreciate the intent of this legislation, I feel it was too broadly drawn and could potentially be used inappropriately to censor free speech," Yee said in a statement.
