Revenge porn laws in YN

Postby Belshekistan » Sun Dec 29, 2019 11:10 am

Well, it was bound to happen eventually.

Most states in the good ol' US of A have some kind of revenge porn laws, which criminalize the dissemination of sexual imagery without the consent of the depicted parties. Recently, Illinois' law has come under fire, though the state's supreme court ruled that revenge porn is not constitutionally protected free speech. So, nations of the NS world, what are your nation's revenge porn laws?

In Belshekistan, non-consensual distribution of sexual imagery is governed under 3 separate clauses of the People's Convention on Sexual Crime.
The professional pornography clause dictates that in cases where sexual content is distributed in a fashion that parties other than the party depicted in the content draw financial gain, prior written consent by the depicted party is required. Texts, e-mails and other forms of electronic writing are not considered legally binding. Violating this clause results in the seizure of all assets and money gained by the accused party, as well as 10 years in prison.
The non-financial pornography clause dictates that in cases where sexual content is distributed in a fashion where no parties other than the depicted party, or no parties period, draw financial gain, some form of prior verifiable consent is required. Text messages and e-mails are considered valid here. Violating this clause results in a fine or asset seizure of not more than 1,000 rubles, or 1 year in jail.
The child protection clause dictates that under no circumstances may sexual content depicting individuals under the federal age of majority be distributed or possessed, with or without consent of the depicted parties. Violating this clause results in death by firing squad.

Please note this is not supposed to be a place to debate revenge porn laws of real life or NS nations, just a place for y'all to weigh in on this issue. Keep it civil!

Dissemination of indecent images without consent of a person is considered to be a federal misdemeanor if the person had no intent to cause harm while it’s a felony if they intended to cause harm.

Spreading indecent images without the explicit consent of all the subjects is considered to be a misdemeanor under federal law assuming that there was no intent to cause harm. If done with intent of harm, or if the consent of the subject was extracted under any kind of threat, it is considered felony. In addition, subjects may at any time withdraw their consent for the dissemination of such images, and the images are to be removed when reported. Anyone who knowingly spreads images who's subject has revoked consent is charged in accordance with the aforementioned laws.

There is currently no federal legislation governing the non-consensual dissemination of sexual imagery, however the vast majority of Radiatian states have laws in place prohibiting this practice, with penalties ranging from a 10,000 Tsenyen fine to up to two years in prison.

It is not considered a specific offense, and can only be prosecuted under privacy laws covering other offenses, with the sexual nature of the images being relevant only as a separate offense (if there is some issue about the consent for the sex).

Anyone who appears in a video of a sexual nature that is publicly posted onto our data net can file an application to have that video removed, and in the overwhelming majority of cases these requests are granted , although the video may be kept in offline storage by the department of communications in exceptional circumstances.

“Revenge porn” is considered repulsive and immoral throughout Prosa. Legally, it’s also a major felony—punishments are case-by-case but can range anywhere from massive fines to jail time. If sexually explicit depictions of a minor are purposefully shared or consumed by adults (as “revenge” or in general), punishment starts with a lengthy prison sentence and gets harsher depending on the case.

The Kiiyash Criminal Guild has many Guild members who trade in and actively produce various forms of blackmail or revenge-based content. As such, the Kiiyash Guild sees no issue itself with revenge porn, with many members trading in it so as to gain leverage on individuals.

Pornography itself is illegal. Publishing pornography is a criminal act of vice.

Publishing porn of someone else, in an act of revenge or otherwise, with the intent of shaming them or revealing their sexual degeneracy, however, is lawful if the party sharing it is the police or some other investigator.

If it is posted to the public, the victim of the revenge porn is arrested for pornography (unless it was taped without that creature's consent) and the creature publishing it if sentenced to a misdemeanor carrying a maximum week in jail and a mandatory fine of two hundred fifty Skillets.

Owning, distributing, viewing, or publishing revenge porn, or any form of pornography featuring any creature not recognized to be the age of majority, is classed as production and/or possession of child pornography and is punishable by death or life in prison. No exceptions. No matter the circumstances, the victim in this situation is legally shielded from any punishment.

Generally the offense if the person is convicted, gets a fine, a short amount of jail time, and a few lashes with a cane. Unless they also raped the victim, in which case they can get a long prison sentence or even execution.

"Revenge porn" has never been a problem in Blodrike, for the following reasons.

1) Digital cameras and video recorders do not exist. At best the footage will consist of a few still photos.
2) Television, radio and internet do not exist. There isn't even a postal service outside of cities. This greatly limits the ability to distribute revenge porn.
3) Sex is not taboo at all here. Even if made public, revenge porn would not create any sort of scandal. As effective as threatening to punish someone with cake.

And there you have it, why the practice of releasing steamy pics as a blackmail tool is nonexistent. And why we don't need a law for it.

═───╡❖╞────────═ REVENGE PORN IN EPHYRA ═────────╡❖╞───═
╞────────═ OFFICIAL DOCUMENT OF THE SPHERE OF THE INTERIOR ═────────╡




In the present timeline, Ephyra has yet to enter the age of digitally accessible porn and an ease of image transfer.

Based solely off of the concept however it is unlikely the Freehold would introduce laws to counter either porn or so-called "revenge-porn". The greater the laws the more corrupt the republic, and the Freehold places a burden on its citizens to refrain from immoral practices through weight of communal censure and fear of social dishonour. Sexual practice is regulated to this end, and whilst prostitution (the closest we would have to pornography) is legal, and use of prostitutes by men permitted (by women, it is not), self-control and regulation of one's excesses are expected.

To that end if a citizen or other subject of the Freehold were to unclothe, take a photo of themselves either nude or in a sexually suggestive or provocative act, and deliver that photo digitally to a recipient, they are demonstrating immodesty. For men and women both this is undesirable behaviour, and were the recipient of the message to share it amongst friends, peers, and the community at large for whatever purpose, the resulting shaming of the object of the photo would be entirely justified as a warning to other young men but especially women to retain appropriate modesty.

Sex and sexuality is intimate. Women especially should only undress for a sexual purpose with the company of their husbands, and whilst it is expected men do likewise with their wives, the dangers present in male extramarital fornication such as pregnancy are far less severe than in the female case. For a woman (or indeed a man) to unclothe for a photo, over which they have no control over its destination once sent, is the digital equivalent of posing naked in public. It is indecent behaviour to be discouraged and shamed.

Since robots are not sexual beings, genuine revenge porn is not a thing.

That said, using CGI to depict an enemy in some sort of humiliating situation is sometimes done, and at times, this involves pairing the person with what is usually some sort of inferior creature, with said creature being shown in a dominant role. In that case, the offended party is fully allowed to track down the publisher and get actual revenge. This usually takes the form of blasting the hell out of the other guy with an energy weapon, which starts a fight that then rages until at least one body is deactivated.

In practice, this means that if you CGI some wimp in with a human, you'll probably get away with it just fine. He might not even be able to find you, let alone extract payback. But Heaven help you if you've misused a depiction of Leader Megatron, who has Domestic Intelligence to track you down, and a fusion cannon to permanently shut you off.

Purpelians as a general rule are not as fussy about nudity, sex and all related things as most cultures. We don't segregate toilets or changing rooms for example (most don't even have stalls, you'll only find those in tourist oriented areas and even there rarely). And the traditional way to celebrate holidays like new year and the solstices are big public drunken orgies (Make sure to bring your farm animals and kids! It's fun for the whole family.). So having a video of you having sex put on the internet is mildly embarrassing but certainly not a huge deal. I mean, it's not like people haven't seen you naked or at least semi naked in public before.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

The ownership of any kind of pornographic material for private use is not a criminal offence, so long as the material does not depict another offence (e.g. rape), however as governed by the Obscene Publications Acts, production, sale and distribution of pornographic material (including "revenge porn") through any channel is a criminal offence punishable by a maximum of two years imprisonment at the summary level or five years on indictment and/or such fine as the court shall award.
