On Sept 1, a new Texas law goes into effect that criminalizes posting intimate photos of a partner that were sent that were sent with the understanding they remain private on the Internet. Posting "revenge porn" will now be a class A misdemeanor which can come with up to $4,000 in fines and a possible year in jail.
今年9月1日，美國德克薩斯州一項新法即將生效。該法將對網(wǎng)絡(luò)"色情報復(fù)"行為定罪。所謂的網(wǎng)絡(luò)"色情報復(fù)"，是指在未經(jīng)當(dāng)事人允許的情況下，將那些被認(rèn)為仍屬私密的，與伴侶親熱的照片放到網(wǎng)上公開。如今，犯此類罪行將被判為A級輕罪，犯法者將被判上交多達(dá)4000美元的罰金，還可能被判入獄一年。

無獨有偶，英國在今年2月12日也頒布了類似法案。在英格蘭和威爾士，此類刑事犯罪最高刑期為兩年(up to two years in jail)。

There has been an explosion in revenge porn over the past few years, largely because of the impact of new technology.
主要受新技術(shù)的影響，過去幾年中，"色情報復(fù)"案件數(shù)量暴增。

Victims of revenge porn have found it difficult to have pictures removed from the Internet.
"色情報復(fù)"的受害者發(fā)現(xiàn)，想從網(wǎng)上清除照片非常困難。

In some cases, asking for removal results in more attention being brought to the images.
有時候，刪除請求反而引起更大的注意和興趣。

According to information from eight police forces in England and Wales which kept data on this issue, there were 149 allegations of revenge porn made in the past two and a half years.
英格蘭和威爾士地區(qū)八個警局對此類事件保有的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，過去兩年半中，有149起網(wǎng)絡(luò)"色情報復(fù)"的指控。

The new law seeks to give a stronger option - classing revenge porn as "photographs or films which show people engaged in sexual activity or depicted in a sexual way or with their genitals exposed, where what is shown would not usually be seen in public".
新法對"色情報復(fù)"做出了更明確的界定，以便受害者尋求法律保護。公開發(fā)表顯示某人在進行性行為，或有性動作或有暴露性器官的照片或視頻，將構(gòu)成"色情報復(fù)"。
