A candidate in a high-stakes legislative contest in Virginia had sex with her husband in live videos posted on a pornographic website and asked viewers to pay them money in return for carrying out specific sex acts.
Screenshots of Susanna Gibson on the website were shared with The Associated Press. The campaign for Gibson, a Democrat running for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in a district just outside Richmond, issued a statement Monday in which it denounced the sharing of the videos as a violation of the law and her privacy. Gibson called the exposure of the videos “the worst gutter politics.”
“It won’t intimidate me and it won’t silence me,” she said in the statement. “My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up.”
Your parents never sat you down and explained the concept of consent to you, did they?
Consent to fucking what, people watching it online?
For people to share it.
She’s sharing it!!
She did share it. She isn’t sharing it. There’s a difference.
Thats not a difference! You cannot decide to suddenly ‘un-share’ with the public just because you’re an idiot who doesn’t understand consequences
Yes you can. You might not be able to, but you legally can. Anyone uploading her content without her permission is breaking the law, regardless of what the content is. If you upload someone’s movie without their permission, even if they shared it online, that’s breaking their copyrights. The same is true for pornographic content.
That’s called piracy, and that’s not what we’re discussing. We’re discussing her privacy, and I’m saying that sharing something publicly willingly can not be a breach of privacy.
When you’re selling your nudes and sex videos to random strangers, that sure sounds like consent, what is there to complain about? She’s mad some of those random strangers paying her were Republicans?
So you don’t see a difference between giving nudes out to a few individuals for money and having your nudes leaked to the entire world for free?
It’s ‘leaked’ when you first put it online you moron. Like how a plot to a movie is ‘leaked’ as soon as it airs. Also, she did so deliberately!
Wtf are we discussing even!? I feel like I’m losing my grasp on reality every time someone mentions the blue or the red team.
Wait, so any content online is free to anyone at any point? Is that what you’re saying?
No? That’s not what I’m saying, not sure were you got that from
Sounds like a copyright issue. I thought Americans were really big on fighting those…
