Topic: Revenge Porn

The massive leak of private celebrity photos, known as "The Fappening," is being framed by activists like Lena Dunham as a sex crime equivalent to rape. This framing is viewed as a potential precursor to new legislation that could be used to censor internet traffic and restrict free speech under the guise of stopping "unlawful content." The hosts argue the event is being used to establish government control over network traffic.

California is introducing legislation to criminalize "revenge porn," the act of posting intimate photos of an ex-partner without consent. The hosts analyze an interview with activist Holly Jacobs, suggesting the law might be a "front" to prevent the leak of politically damaging photos (similar to Abu Ghraib). They argue that the term "domestic violence" is being overextended to cover non-violent digital acts.
