Joke’s on them - I’m into legislators being comfortable with sexuality.
No doubt. Saw the videos, like what I saw. Would still vote for her.
You should probably report where you saw them- it's revenge porn.
They've already been removed from recurbate, so presumably her team is searching for the alternatives today. They're not at all difficult to find, and given that it was consensual and posted to the internet by her and her husband, I find it highly unlikely a judge will rule that it's revenge porn, which requires that the third party "disseminate or sell" the material. All they did was tip off the press, who also didn't disseminate or sell the videos. Also the servers they're located on now are probably foreign.
I think that's the problem, it wasn't posted by her or her husband.
She and her husband were streaming on Chaturbate. Someone archived the videos.
A month after she announced her candidacy, someone took the archived copies and uploaded them.
A little different than if she or her husband did it themselves or if it were automatic. The timing seems retributive.
All Chaturbate streams are public domain according to their ToS. She agreed to those terms when she decided to put porn on the internet.
Nice job reading the tos.
Proof it's revenge porn.
It's nude images nonconsensually disseminated for the purpose of hurting someone, which is the definition of revenge porn under VA law
It is in no way nonconsensually disseminated. She uploaded the videos willingly and agreed to include them in the public domain per the terms of service of the site.
Just to repeat: for the purpose of hurting someone. Intent is a pretty big deal in criminal law. That's why murder and manslaughter are different crimes with different sentencing guidelines. When she and her husband posted them, they weren't trying to hurt someone's reputation. This coverage is a result of someone deliberately trying cause harm to her career.
If there's anything voters hate more than atheists, it's women that show any sort of sexuality. Juxtapose that with several very high elections and appointments of men who have sexually assaulted women if you'd like to feel a little disgusted this morning.
I'd like to vote for a sex worker for president. They'd be way less likely to assault anyone or be a pedophile than most of the people we elect now.
Yeah I'm sure you will sleep just great after jacking off to a woman who specifically didnt want people viewing her deleted stuff.
Putting things on the internet and expecting people to not find/look at them is laughable. I'd still vote for her, and don't really care.
Also, it's a joke. I'm not going to watch it. From the discription it's way to tame to actually get me off anyway. I need like every orifice filled with something. Preferably some kind of love action tentacle porn situation. Bonus points if their in a fur suit.
So if I understand correctly, our candidate live-streamed sexual activity to Chaturbate, and is mad that someone saved and uploaded the video elsewhere.
Our candidate is a naive idiot.
"Invasion of my privacy without consent" You waived any claim to privacy when you hit the Begin Stream button and invited To Whom It May Concern into your bedroom. The video left your computer and arrived on someone else's computer, and hence permanently entered the state of being "on the internet." You're 40 years old, you and I grew up on the same internet in the same time period, you are both young and old enough to know better.
If you don't want the entire internet to see your gonads, don't upload your gonads to the internet. Probably don't even photograph your gonads in the first place, because your phone probably puts your entire camera folder on the internet anyway.
On the topic of a 40 year old woman and candidate for state office sharing an active and apparently adventurous sex life with her husband: Excellent, carry on. Living as long as I have under the thumb of right wing hypocrites who spend their entire lives trying to criminalize anything except being white, male and straight pausing only to take it up the ass in an airport men's room, I'd honestly prefer a candidate whose take on the matter is "YEAH I like getting dicked all the way down. Wanna watch?"
It's the blaming someone else for something YOU did that chuffs my spuds here. You chose to broadcast. And you can't stop the signal, Mal.
A grown adult woman fucked her grown adult husband on camera for adult friends viewing over chaturbate, and this is a scandal I'm supposed to care about?
How come it is an invasion of her privacy if they're live streaming? She's just stupid.
Because consent in one instance doesn't create consent in all instances. It's not just a violation of ethics to repost, it's also legally, copyright infringement, and completely irrelevant to her qualifications.
Wrong. Chaturbate's own privacy policy clarifies that all uploaded or streamed content is public information.
Edit: You numbskulls are downvoting the site's own terms of service. Morons.
Lotsa white knight bullshit on Lemmy.
The moral colors of the pro piracy wing of lemmy coming out in force with no understanding of consent or nuance.
The best way to avoid ones' sex tapes appearing on the net is not making any in the first place. But that seems to be a bit too compliceated for some.
Missing the point entirely. Sex tapes between consenting adults shouldn't be an issue, and leaking them to shame, denigrate or otherwise harm someone should be a sex crime that puts you on a list. There's a fair chance that it is under Virginia law, but I expect governor Glenn "Voter fraud is NBD when my kid does it twice" Youngkin to ignore the law when he likes the criminal.
Yeah, but this wasn't a private sex act. She and her husband performed publicly on chaturbate.
By "leaking" the tape, they literally just pointed people to one of those sites that automatically archives chaturbate shows.
I completely agree that that's irrelevant to politics, but it feels like a stretch to call the taping of a public broadcast to be revenge porn.
Automating crime doesn't make it not crime. Giving some people permission to watch you fuck doesn't give everyone permission to watch you fuck. Please take some time to look at yourself and consider why you want so badly for this to be fine when it's obviously not.
Giving some people permission to watch you fuck doesn’t give everyone permission to watch you fuck.
Again, it was public on chaturbate, they literally gave everyone in the world over 18 permission to watch them fuck. This is a matter of whether giving everyone in the world permission to watch you fuck entitles them to tape it and reshare it or replay it. Morally that's a lot more nuanced than a private sex show.
Also, from other comments in here it seems like legally based on the terms of service they agreed to they explicitly did give permission for their public performance to enter the public domain.
Please take some time to look at yourself and consider why you want so badly for this to be fine when it’s obviously not.
Please take some time to go fuck yourself (on or off stream) for not so subtly implying that I have any emotional stake in this, instead of just trying to have a nuanced discussion about the ethics around recording a public performance.
You're simply wrong. What you're saying just is not the truth.
Lol this comment is the equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and going lalalala
I think that's the problem, it wasn't an automatic archive.
She and her husband were streaming on Chaturbate. Someone archived the videos.
A month after she announced her candidacy, someone took the archived copies and uploaded them.
A little different than if she or her husband did it themselves or if it were automatic. The timing seems retributive.
What a shitty take.
I've made sure to make all my sex videos as Vines, so no one will ever see them.
I don't think it'll hurt her much; though there certainly is some degree of difference between a private video being leaked and a public livestream being saved / leaked, they're still both illegal invasions of privacy and hence this will be viewed by most reasonable people as Republican skullduggery rather than any moral failing on her part.
Who cares (aside from her clearly)? She is an adult and had sex with her husband (wouldn't matter if it was not her husband either). Whoopdie doo. What are her views on healthcare and taxing carbon emissions?
She's an idiot if she thinks live streaming porn of herself online was somehow ever going to be private.
I would be too, that's lost income.
