Many see this as a sex scandal. Katie Hill says it's a cybercrime.
As many people fixated on her alleged affairs with staffers, outgoing Rep. Katie Hill pledged to fight a different factor driving her resignation: cyber exploitation.
‘Now, my fight is going to be to defeat this type of exploitation that so many women are victims to and which will keep countless women and girls from running for office or entering public light.’ “Those of you who know me personally know that I’m a fighter,” Hill wrote in a resignation letter. “Now, my fight is going to be to defeat this type of exploitation that so many women are victims to and which will keep countless women and girls from running for office or entering public light.
But those figures soar for young women: Some 10% women below age 30 have been threatened with the possibility of nonconsensual public image-sharing versus 3% for men under 30. Google GOOG, +1.97% GOOGL, +1.95%, Twitter, Facebook FB, +0.80% and Reddit have all pledged to honor requests to remove images of revenge porn.
Such nonconsensual pornography is linked to negative mental-health outcomes, social isolation and damage to personal relationships, according to a 2016 article published in the Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law.
