B C considering revenge porn legislation to help victims seek compensation, get photos removed

  VANCOUVER The provincial government is looking at options for legislation aimed at helping B.C. victims of so-called revenge porn. In a news release Thursday, the province announced its Gender Equity Office is undertaking consultations on ways to address the non-consensual distribution of intimate images. Also known as image abuse, revenge porn is already an offence under Canada s Criminal Code, but on the provincial level, B.C. may be able to provide additional tools for people to protect themselves. The parliamentary secretary for gender equity will lead the consultation on behalf of Attorney General David Eby, the office said in the statement.

BC evaluating possible legislation against revenge porn

“Without consent, circulating or threatening to distribute an intimate image is a form of sexual violence with traumatic and lasting impacts,” Lore said in an emailed statement. “The non-consensual sharing of images can be a form of intimate partner violence or be used to extort victims for additional images, sex or money.” The province says legislation could offer a new, efficient method to have images taken down and destroyed, claim compensation from wrongdoers, and stop the initial distribution from occurring. It could also apply to altered images, which are known as deep fakes. “We believe a comprehensive BC approach can make a real difference for people to achieve results faster and get better access to justice.”
