It's understandable how photos that were meant to stay private could endanger a victim's social life, livelihood and even personal safety. But many states are cracking down and making revenge porn illegal – it's even considered a felony in at least 10 states. Thirty-four states currently penalize revenge porn, and more are working on legislation. Unfortunately, those who have been victims must expose themselves further to raise awareness of the issue and get those laws passed. There's help out there from cybercrime lobbyists, such as End Revenge Porn, Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, Without My Consent and many more. And to remove those pictures from the blogs and other websites posting them illegally, the rights protection group, DMCA Defender, offers low-cost services to help get them off the Web.
