Would be great if English media and politicians could follow recent examples in Ireland of NOT using victim-blaming language of 'revenge porn'. Its easy to do and has a direct impact on victims AND how we understand these issues: telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/01/0… Read any of the legislative debates on the Irish Harmful Communications and Harassment Bill and you will find most politicians talking about intimate image abuse or image-based sexual abuse or similar #TerminologyMatters
