Inovações dos crimes cibernéticos: a pornografia de vingança e os avanços da legislação brasileira para seu enfrentamento

Abstract

Revenge Porn is a criminal practice that occurs in digital media consisting in the dissemination of pictures and videos with intimate content without the victim’s consent, with the goal of exposing them to society. The conduct in question afflicts, mostly, women and is generally practiced by ex-partners, motivated by their dissatisfaction with the end of the relationship. This work will address the concepts and origins of revenge porn, its classification, legal consequences and punishments currently applied, which aim to protect fundamental rights like image, honor, privacy and intimacy. It will analyze the advancements in the Brazilian legal system to combat the practice more effectively since it is a theme of extreme relevance given the consequences caused in the lives of the victims.
