Digital safety and intimate images

Sharing intimate images without consent is a crime. It is not the victim's fault.

  • Sexual images of people under 18 are illegal in any situation.
  • Platforms have channels to remove content.

In practice

  • Don't delete the evidence if it is safe to keep it.
  • Report it to the platform and to SaferNet.
  • Use strong passwords and two-step verification.

Warning signs

  • Blackmail with photos (sextortion).
  • Fake accounts using your name.
