“The new legislation means Arizona will be the first state to make posting ‘revenge porn’ online a felony offense. The Arizona Legislature unanimously passed the bill one week ago and the governor signed it into law last Wednesday. Revenge porn is a disturbing societal trend, but is the best path to limiting the act by punishing the practice through the criminal courts? The Arizona law and similar laws in other states could have unintended consequences on constitutionally protected free speech. The conduct of posting a picture online, even without the consent of the person pictured, is speech. Speech is supposedly protected by the First Amendment.”
