Victims of non-consensual pornography, sometimes called "revenge porn," often receive little help from the law. Many who to try to fight the malicious and unconsented sharing of their explicit photos or videos cannot overcome the numerous hurdles to vindication. Plaintiffs like Holly Jacobs, who, according to her lawyer, is the first Floridian to sue an ex for their alleged distribution of non-consensual pornography, are told that offending websites receive broad immunity, that it's hard to identify the individual wrongdoers, and that once your explicit photo is shared with others, it is no longer "private."
