End Revenge Porn

End Revenge Porn A campaign of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative to provide support to victims of nonconsensual p**n. For inquiries, please contact us thru our website.

In August 2012, after struggling and hiding for three years as a victim of the NCP, Holly Jacobs, Ph.D., began the End Revenge P**n (ERP) campaign. Initially launched as a website that collected signatures in favor of criminalizing NCP, ERP eventually grew into a hub where victims could get information about NCP, receive support from other victims and victim advocates, be referred to pro or low bo

no services to help them regain control of their search results and lives, and support the passage of legislation against NCP. A year after ERP’s inception, in August 2013, Dr. Jacobs optimized the work she had achieved through ERP and incorporated it into the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative (CCRI). Today, CCRI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving thousands of victims around the world and advocating for technological, social, and legal innovation to fight online abuse. Visit our website to sign the petition and criminalize revenge p**n in the United States.

In some cases, the reported pictures or accounts are left on [Instagram] for days. The distressed victims of so-called "revenge p**n" are being told that due to COVID-19, the company has fewer moderators to review reports and are therefore forced to "prioritize content."

Victims of image-based abuse are being left in distress as Instagram struggles to work with a smaller team during the coronavirus pandemic.

It reassured me that my intuition was right – that showing yourself naked to the world when you choose to is very different to when you don’t choose to. Now what happened to me felt less meaningless as the project had become larger than me.

A law meant to encourage sites to moderate content has instead become a legal justification not to. This has allowed sites with revenge p**n and other harassing material to flourish. Because these sites have a chilling effect on the speech of the victims of such harassment, who typically are women, some legal scholars argue that tweaking Section 230 so that it rewards only truly Good Samaritans could make the Internet less brutal while also increasing freedom of expression.

The foundational law governing social media could use an update. But that should come from careful consideration in Congress, not from a fit of pique in the Oval Office.

AI has been used by social media platforms to aid in the identification of hate speech, violent content, fake news and harmful propaganda, and it’s no different with revenge p**n. Some believe that AI could recognise revenge p**n if it is first exposed to a wide collection of data that contains n**e pictures accompanied by sentences such as “look at this” and denigrating emojis in order to perfect its recognition process.

Sharing sexually explicit images of a person on the internet without their consent, also known as revenge p**n, has been on the rise during COVID-19.
