Yeah, I wonder if sharing a link counts as distribution?
This is something i didn't read before, because it's only the caption of an image in the article:
Harmful digital communications act
So, taking sexually explicit images from their account and sharing them counts, but would merely linking to the content be enough?
If I remember correctly it counts for defamation and name suppression laws, but in this case since the link would just be to OPs own content it probably wouldn't.
It might still be charged under the act though, as bullying, but I am not a lawyer.
Neither am I.
I'd love to have an actual legal professional weigh in on this.
They would need to register first and subscribe to the channel. Maybe what she did, counts as extra-vindictive, because most wouldn't take those steps. She went an extra step of spending money of her own, to be able to take the screenshots.
Just out of my head, i would say that just sending a link to the content, probably wouldn't have had the same effect. It would depend on how tech savvy the recipient is in this case. Sending screenshots is the best way to have the maximum impact and fuck things up quickly.
She knew that.
Linking would require the viewer to set up an account, log in and then pay to see the images.
