Breakups are always difficult. Things are said that can’t be taken back. Feelings are hurt. Pornographic images and video of your ex are posted online and emailed to thousands of strangers. You know, the usual.
In all seriousness, however, Revenge Porn, which we’ve written about on the Reputation.com Blog before, is a growing problem in the Internet age. Given the ease with which people can post and share information online, it only takes one jaded ex with an itchy trigger finger to mouse click your sexual escapades to the world.
Of course, once the material is posted, it’s too late for the offender to simply apologize. Removing information from the web is no easy feat and judges are beginning to crack down on this kind of defamation. For instance, take the case of the Italian man who was jailed for over two years after uploading pornographic images of his ex-girlfriend. As angry as he may have been over the breakup, I doubt he’d repeat his actions if he knew he faced that kind of sentence.
