I wondered if anyone knew of a case where any of our projects had been involved in a "revenge porn" incident - I.e. someone maliciously uploading and publicising pornographic pictures to control and humiliate someone else (most frequently an ex - girlfriend).
I ask because someone I know is going through this kind of abuse. at present, and that's reminded me this is a growing problem and area of media/political interest.
Thanks,
Chris

Not that *I* know of, but I did initiate a mass deletion request (ultimately successful) about a year ago when concerns were raised about some photos that might have had exactly this use in mind: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_of_Austin... Daniel Case
Yes, as a OTRS agent and a Commonist.
It was just as challenging to get content removed for those reasons as any other.
People seem to not want to listen. It's really weird how protective people can be about porn versus the people in them.
I'm sure there is some on there as I type this as people have no idea.

I've been studying non-consensual amateur porn (and revenge porn as a subset of it) as a part of a research and advocacy project. Could anyone share their experiences (on list or off list) of dealing with revenge porn on the Wiki projects?
For those who don't know me, I also chair the Gender gap special interest group at Wikimedia India.
