REVENGE PORNOGRAPHY – SOCIO-LEGAL IMPACT

The development of the internet in the 21st century has ushered in the era of digitalization because social media has been so beneficial for individuals and businesses. Also, this has exposed the negative aspects of the internet. Digital technologies are now widely used in both daily living and daily crimes. Cybercrimes are criminal offences that take place in the realm of digital technologies and cyberspace. One such offence is known as “revenge pornography[1],” which refers to the publication and dissemination of photos with other people’s sexual material without their agreement on various public venues, digital channels, and websites. Modern television and video technologies have produced pornographic programmes and channels. These offenders make bad use of technologically based inventions and software to facilitate domestic violence, dating abuse, cyberstalking, and child sexual exploitation. It is disrespectful because the internet has created prospects for technological and virtual closeness. These sexual subgenres and sexual media on internet platforms have multiplied in unprecedented ways.
