For a site that screams and cries about privacy of IP addresses and privacy of what sites you visit - apparently posting naked photos isn't a privacy violation?
Human beings feel vulnerable when they are naked, and exposure like that is humiliating. This is not a western society thing, it's a human nature thing
Plenty of cultures don’t have the shame around nudity that we do. It is not at all universal and feeling humiliated is just that, a feeling. You can choose to feel a different way if you want.
You're mixing two things. The fact that there are nude beaches in Canada for example doesn't mean the women want sexualized nude images or wouldn't feel embarrassed or humiliated by that.
There an important contextual difference you are missing.
This whole you can choose is rubbish. It can be used to excuse any form of victimization. It's not sufficient to hurt, violate or victimize someone and tell them to choose to have a better perception or attitude about it.
How about the people doing it change their attitudes on others privacy right and right to their integrity
Further, any efforts to impose real consequences on the victim such as denying a job or expressing that they should feel shame (as if they have done something wrong) are also unhelpful and should be roundly mocked and derided.
But that’s cold comfort to a teenage girl being mocked from the next lunch table today.
Some social norms still have value and erasing all of them in the name of self determination and 'social safety' may push us into uncharted territory as a culture- the modern world has already made us impulsive enough.
People have been drawing naked pictures since they first figured out how to paint on cave walls. It's not going away. People have sex and are very interested in it. If they weren't we'd have died out as a species.
Also this is more about pornographic content (what is mentioned in the article) than nude art- there's a world of difference between having a crude charcoal sketch, a renaissance painting, and a degrading porn shot of someone.
What does that mean - "developed" mind shouln't be interested in sex? Does porn have to be degrading (for both sides)? You should better separate your own bias and then either have a better argument, or see the fallacy.
Now deepfake nudity is new and everyone is saying they are the end of civilization and if it happens to you your life is ruined. I mean, think about that phrase. Your whole life, ruined. No good anymore. Everything you ever were or could have been, destroyed.
Instead, we could all just decide that this isn’t a big deal. Like we have about many, many things before. Wouldn’t that be better than irrevocably ruining someone’s life if this happens to them?
In fact I would go further and just ban discrimination on sexuality and/or availability of sexual material of someone. This is specially important when it comes to employment and housing discrimination.
However, laws aren't magic bullets and even it such a law were to be 100% followed, the creation of realistic fake sexual material of someone is definitely a serious violation of privacy and intimacy and thus people who make such materials ought be punished as for the violation of such fundamental rights.
This is to say, punishment of fake nude creators should be irrespective of whether or not they caused emotional distress.
But don't force it on those who do not want to do it.
