In 2013, American YouTube music and comedy sensation Chrissy Chambers witnessed her reputation crumble when her ex-boyfriend uploaded seven videos of them having sex to dozens of porn sites. As the videos spread through the internet, she was harassed by misogynistic trolls. Chambers’ ex-boyfriend violated her privacy because he published content online without her consent that contained sensitive information – that she had had sexual intercourse with a man. The violation of her privacy was compounded by the use of images – except for exhibitionists, most people do not want to be seen naked nor witnessed when having an intimate experience with another person. One set of harms that privacy protects from is illustrated by revenge porn – the non-consensual sharing of nude or sexual images – and related harms such as blackmail. The need for privacy is as important as the need for companionship and community. |
