This has very little to do with hacking. Sure there was a hack, but I get the impression she could have dealt with that if it would have ended there. The results would have been the same if it would have been the more stereotypical "revenge porn". What got to her were the thousands of men who continued to download, share and comment on the pictures.

Anonymous people on the internet would call you a faggot cocksucker for much less than asking to have your picture removed from a site. There's no civil communicating with some people and trying to will just hurt you. The sites distributing her photos should be liable for damages under the DMCA though.

Thanks for illustrating the fundamental problem.

If you've been on the internet for any length of times, you've been called bad names and have moved on. Why can't women do the same?

But what if every second e-mail you receive implies you are a slut?

Men are routinely the subject of death threats and similar style trolling. Men who die have their rememberance pages trolled. Young men are entrapped by criminal gangs into sending them nude photographs, which are then used to blackmail those young men. Sexual violence online appears to be mostly aimed at women, and mostly from men. But it's not hard to find examples of men receiving those threats or women making thr…

But that's just a business model (granted, it doesn't make any difference to the victim). Misogynists threaten for free.

My working hypothesis is that well-adjusted people don't spend their free time sending rape/death threats over the Internet.
