“Revenge porn” affects all areas of the victim’s life: career, relationship, social activity. In some cases, photographs can lead to suicide. This is written by Microsoft on the blog. The company has opened a form through which victims will be able to report such photos - Microsoft will remove them from Bing, OneDrive and Xbox Live.
Microsoft wants to returnvictims of "revenge porn" control of their own photos. The company promises to remove links to photos and videos from the search engine Bing and restrict access to content that users share on OneDrive and Xbox Live, at the request of the victim. Previously, users could already report this to Microsoft, but now it is much easier to do this - like Google, Microsoft has launched a special feedback form. It is currently available in English, but will be translated into other languages in the coming weeks. If Microsoft removes links or content, it does so around the world.
Google toldabout a similar form of communication for victims of "revenge porn" in June this year. A post about this was written on the blog by the head of the Google ranking team Amit Singhal. “Our philosophy has always been to display the entire Internet. But images of revenge porn inflict personal and emotional trauma, they serve only to harm the victims - mainly women. ” Singhal noted a large number of requests from people asking them to remove sexually explicit images from the issuance, and announced that Google will remove photos and videos from the issuance, as it removes personal information - bank accounts and signatures.
Facebook policyinvolves the removal of photographs that are a threat or propaganda of violence or sexual exploitation. A social network will delete photos and videos posted in revenge or without the permission of the people who are present.
"Porn from revenge" is considered a problem not only by the Internet giants Google, Microsoft and Facebook, but also the authorities of the countries. In the UK, the distribution of indecent images in order to take revenge on a former partner / partner is punishable by two years in prison .
In 2013, the first law was passed in the United States regarding this type of porn: prosecutors opened a series of criminal cases against owners of sites where abandoned men and women posted photos of their former soul mates. This was preceded by the case of Hunter Moore, creator of the site isanyoneup.com - the resource brought the concept of "pornography" to the international level.
