MyEx.com has been prosecuted by the FTC and Nevada. The revenge porn siteurged users to “Add an Ex” and “Submit Pics and Stories of Your Ex” for ratings from other registered users. The results of this prosecution have ensured the removal of MyEx.com and that its owner, Neil Infante, is never allowed to operate again.

This vile web page charged victims amounts that ranged from $500 to $2800 in order to take down images and intimate content from MyEx.com. This media was open for public comment and scrutiny from anyone who joined the website. The site also frequently listed the victim’s full names, dates of birth, email addresses and other contact information which was used to harass.

MyEx.com’ horrible tactics caused real harm to the individuals who suffered as a result of being posted on it. Some of these victims lost jobs, relationships and ended up with a ruined life. Many paid the fees and still suffered fallout. That fallout is often what drove them to pay the fees. These intimate images were never meant to be shared, and have made victims the subject of threats and harassment.

The FTC $205,000 settlement prevents the site’s owner, Nei Infante, from ever posting intimate pics or personally identifiable information to the web again. Infante is also permanently banned from serving as an operating officer.

Everyday, thousands of people all over the world wake up to the realization that nude pictures of themselves have appeared online. It could be that you were the victim of a targeted attack, or just a vengeful ex looking to get back at you. Whatever the case, these pictures can be damming to your career prospects, your future relationships and your life. If you, or someone you know, has had this horrible thing happen then you’ll be pleased to know that Google can help remove some of that content from search.

Google has a public policy that acknowledges the terrible truth: sometimes, vengeful people do awful things. One widespread method is to post naked pictures of that person online. These compromising pictures are often shared consensually, and they are taken under the knowledge that they will be kept private.

Google has laid out certain requirements it uses to determine if your content fits this profile:

• The subject of the photo or video, and the person making the request, must be nude or shown in a compromising sexual act.
• The content must be intended for a private audience, such as sharing between spouses.
• If the second condition is true, it follows that the subject never consented to making this information publicly available.

As long as you can prove that your content meets these conditions, Google should help you take this content off of search. It’s important to note that this only applies to Google search. Google will also display a notice that certain content was removed from the search results. The content still exists on whatever website is hosting it, which can creep up in other ways.

What if your next potential employer or spouse uses a different search engine to find information about you? What if this person is tipped off that your videos or photos exist? For these reasons, reputation management is a route you might want to look into. Reputation management offers long term solutions to these types of problems, including complete removal of your compromised content.

If you’ve ever suffered from nude or sexually suggestive photos of you posted online from an ex, you know how mortifying and out of control the whole situation can feel. Posting pictures of former partners online anywhere from sexually suggestive to explicit is considered “revenge porn” in the law making system.

Revenge Porn is highly damaging not only to an individual’s reputation, but their emotional well-being and confidence as well. Photographs meant to be something private and special are perverted and used as hateful backlash in the event of an altercation between two individuals. Lawmakers in California are appalled at this hateful behavior of posting private pictures of people online without their consent.

Once it hits the internet it becomes like a virus, and it can never go away. That is why revenge porn is so damaging. The bill presented by California State Senator Anthony Cannella has written a bill that makes revenge porn a misdemeanor punishable by a $1,000 fine and possibly a month in jail. The bill is a reaction against the tragedy of Audrie Pott’s suicide after a sexual assault by three peers at a party. Graphic photos were circulated around the school, and feeling like her life was completely ruined, took her life soon after.

Victims of revenge porn know that a bill from Sacramento is a small reprehension against their aggressors. They are left with their lives turned upside down with no hope of reconciliation. They feel their lives are forever tarnished, and that they will never fully recover from the trauma acted against them. Many websites like “Is Anyone Up” provides links to social media profiles opening the way for relentless harassment.

Extortion claims are acted on behalf of revenge porn websites for requiring a payment to take the photos down. Sometimes the best protection these people can turn to is simply burying of their pornographic links in Google Search Engines, but removing them completely is hard work. Hopefully the law will discourage future revenge porn due to criminal repercussions that may be associated with it.
