Revenge porn is sexually explicit video footage or pictures that are uploaded to the internet without the consent of the person in them. The material is commonly distributed by an ex-partner and serves as revenge for a breakup or relationship woes. These images may have originally been exchanged during the relationship and are intended for private consumption. In some cases, photoshop is used to enhance the comprimising nature of the photos. It is common for the poster to provide names, links to social media accounts and other identifying information along with the images. As a means of revenue, some revenge porn sites charge a hefty fee to those requesting the removal of images and video that portrays them.
