width="110">Two weeks ago, the American Civil
Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in Arizona against
that state's "revenge porn" law on behalf of
several bookstores and other organizations.
Revenge porn - which some people argue is a
misleading term - was a big news item recently
when some nude "selfies" of celebrities were
leaked on the Internet, a clear violation of
privacy. So far, thirteen states have passed
revenge porn laws, but even advocates for such
state laws, like <a
href="http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2014/10/revenge_porn_laws_sample_text_for_state_lawmakers.html">Professor
Danielle Citron</a>, admit that many are poorly
written and make even the <em>display</em> of
nude images a crime. The ACLU suit lists an
example of how this could put libraries on the
wrong side of the law: "A library in Arizona
provides computers with Internet access to its
patrons and, because no filters could effectively
prevent this result, the library patrons are able
to access nude or sexual images."

bizarreness of the library example. The library
gets netted by the law because how many
different kinds of activities that the Arizona
law criminalizes: 'It is unlawful to
intentionally disclose, display, distribute,
publish, advertise or offer a photograph,
videotape, film or digital recording of another
person in a state of nudity or engaged in
specific sexual activities if the person knows
or should have known that the depicted person
has not consented to the disclosure.'"</li>

href="http://www.thenation.com/article/181829/war-against-revenge-porn">Revenge
porn is malicious and reprehensible. But
should it be a crime?</a> (The Nation |
Michelle Goldberg) "At first glance, it can be
hard to imagine any decent person objecting to
these laws. State-level efforts, which target
people who share nude images without the
pictured person's consent, vary considerably.
Most make the crime a misdemeanor, with prison
sentences of up to a year, though in Arizona
it's a felony. Georgia's law includes the
'depiction of covered male genitals in a
discernibly turgid state,' while a bill that
passed Michigan's State Senate applies to
sexually explicit drawings as well as
photographs. The ACLU objects to most of this
legislation, arguing that it is dangerous to
criminalize the display of material that's not
obscene and was legally obtained.'"</li>
