Prevention is key

There are some steps you can take to avoid having naked photos leaked on the internet

  • Secure your devices and accounts. Make sure that your devices and accounts are password-protected and that you use strong, unique passwords. Don't share your passwords with anyone, and consider using two-factor authentication for added security.
  • Use secure messaging apps. If you need to share sensitive information or images, consider using a secure messaging app that uses end-to-end encryption. This can help to prevent your ex (or anyone else) from intercepting or accessing your messages.
  • Seek legal help if necessary. If your ex has already shared your private pictures or videos, consider speaking with a lawyer about your options. Depending on where you live, revenge porn may be considered a criminal offense, and you may be able to take legal action against your ex.
  • Be careful about who you share intimate images with. Before sharing intimate images with anyone, make sure that you trust them completely and that they have a proven track record of respecting your privacy. Remember that once you share an image, you lose control over it.
  • Speak openly and honestly with your partner. If you are in a new relationship, it's important to have open and honest conversations about privacy and boundaries. Let your partner know that sharing intimate images without your consent is not acceptable, and ask them to do the same. Building trust and respect in your relationship can go a long way towards preventing the sharing of private photos or videos.

In many countries it is against the law for websites to host non-consensual intimate images

Unfortunately, there are some websites that allow the posting and sharing of explicit content, including leaked naked photos. These websites may include revenge porn sites or adult content sharing platforms. Reputable websites should always remove such content upon receiving a takedown notice from the affected individual or their representative. However, there may be certain websites that operate in a legal grey area or intentionally flout the law and refuse to remove such content. It's important to note that accessing and distributing non-consensual intimate images is a serious crime, and individuals should seek legal action against both the perpetrator and any website that refuses to remove the content.

It is important for websites to have clear policies against the sharing of non-consensual intimate images and to take prompt action to remove any such content upon notification. Failure to do so can result in legal consequences, damage to the website's reputation, and harm to the individuals affected by the distribution of their private images.
