CA: Manitoba First Province to Provide Remedy for “Revenge Porn”

On Friday, Canada’s first law against “revenge porn,” the non-consensual sharing of intimate images often by an ex-lover, went into effect in Manitoba.  The law provides a civil remedy for the victim against the perpetrator.  Explicit consent is required before such images may be shared.  In the U.S., 9 states have civil remedies and 27 states have criminal provisions regarding revenge porn.  VICE News has the story.
