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.”
Lady, you stream yourself and hubby fucking and that’s then suddenly an invasion of your privacy? What fucking Looney Toons world is she living?
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…
Maybe we oughta leak your nudes too!
No? I don’t post nudes online because I care about my privacy, but then I’m not a fucking idiot thinking that streaming yourself fucking is being ‘private’.
Yes, because if I stream a private video to a certain group of people, somehow that means giving it to literally everyone.
‘Private’ with anyone who coughs up the buck for the video! Is that your concept of being ‘private’ with a group lmao!?
If I was selling nudes you’d have a point. She’s trying to have it both ways.
Wrong reply dingus
Right reply. You’re making an argument with broken logic.
In the world where those weren’t public but behind a paywall.
I see nuance is lost.
You are totally right despite the down votes. I concur, that you should not live stream porn of yourself if you don’t want people to see that. Her privacy for that act was lost when she turned on that stream.
This is a simple fact of how the Internet works in general. Don’t put it online if you don’t want someone to see it.
This is not about her privacy being lost, it’s about people sharing videos without her consent. She posted them expecting people to see her naked. That isn’t the issue. She’s taken the videos down and people have reposted them on other sites.
It’s literally about her privacy, read the frickin article.
Well, I must refer you to the lady in question’s own words, which were “Invasion of Privacy” - hence this discussion about that statement regarding Privacy.
Yeah. 2023 and people still fail to grasp the most simple concepts of how the internet functions.
