Point de Contact (part of the French Safer Internet Centre) provides the public with this practical guide on revenge porn.

This resource defines the practice commonly referred to as "revenge porn," based on the article of the French Penal Code that prohibits and penalises it. However, the term revenge porn is no longer considered appropriate, as it fails to accurately reflect the reality of this form of cyberviolence. It should instead be referred to as the non-consensual sharing of intimate content. This practice involves the distribution of sexual or intimate images of a person without their consent.

After simplifying the relevant provisions of French criminal law to ensure accessibility and understanding, the practical guide outlines the appropriate reflexes to adopt in order to protect oneself and combat this form of cyberviolence, both for victims and for those who are witnesses.

Reporting this kind of situation and the people responsible for it is a fundamental civic responsibility, one that each individual is called upon to uphold.
