Revenge porn is officially a crime in Israel

Finally a step in the right direction!
Finally a step in the right direction! Revenge Porn is the pinnacle of Ciber-bullying. Revenger porn means: private pictures or video are posted online mostly by ex-lovers. The consequences of such an act can be devastating. Many victims cann't live a normal life afterwards. Pictures on the net are almost impossible to remove. This means that the victims suffer sometimes a lifetime. However, the perpetrators go unpunished in most cases. But now Israel has fought for the rights of victims. Israel has now anchored Revenge Porn as a criminal act in the law. The perpetrators could face up to five years in prison.
