There ought to be a law, say many people opposed to revenge porn. And so they craft laws with an eye on prosecution but not so much on the First Amendment , tending to treat collateral damage as acceptable so long as revenge porn site operators are criminally charged. But the proposed laws are more than bad, they’re extraneous. Existing laws are still taking down revenge porn purveyors, as we’ve covered previously at this site.

The FTC has taken down another revenge porn site and secured a judgment against one of its operations, all without having to having to hack away at protected speech or undermine Section 230 immunity. MyEx.com — a site “dedicated solely to revenge porn” — has been targeted in an FTC complaint.

According to the complaint, visitors to MyEx.com can rate the videos and pictures they see and post comments about the victims. At various times, the site included victims’ full date of birth, personal email address, telephone number, and links to social media profiles, along with the intimate images.

The FTC alleges that the defendants were aware that many of the individuals did not agree to having their intimate images and personal information posted to MyEx.com. As of December 2017, there were approximately 12,620 entries on the site, according to the complaint.

The complaint [PDF] contains extensive documentation of the site runners’ activities, including charging people anywhere from $499 up to $2,800 for removal of pictures and information, as well as the site’s operator creating a wholly (and admittedly) fictitious business entity to hide behind.

Defendant Applegate registered the domain MyEx.com through domain name registrar GoDaddy from November 2011 through at least June 2013. He provided GoDaddy the email address shad@myex.com as his contact address.

In May of 2013, GoDaddy informed Defendant Applegate of reports of child exploitation and underage content on MyEx.com. GoDaddy also informed Defendant Applegate that an investigator from an internet-crimes-against-children taskforce and a police detective were attempting to get in touch with the website operators.

Also in May 2013, Defendant Applegate changed the contact name provided to GoDaddy for the MyEx.com website to “Eun Kim” and changed the contact address to Singel 540, 1017 AZ Amsterdam, Netherlands, while leaving the contact email address as shad@myex.com for a period of time. After GoDaddy inquired about this change, Defendant Applegate told GoDaddy in a message, “its [sic] not a company it’s a made up name for the address & [sic]; phone number in the Netherlands. The [expletive] domain is in my godaddy [sic] account.” Defendant Applegate then moved MyEx.com to a different registrar, Eurodns. He provided Eurodns the contact name “Eun Kim” and changed MyEx.com to be associated with the fictional business entity, Web Solutions B.V. He provided a contact address of Singel 540, 1017 AZ Amsterdam, Netherlands, which was the same address he told GoDaddy that he made up.

This fictitious address was also used to ignore DMCA complaints and other requests for removal of content.

Under the “Contact Us” page, the site stated, “Myex.com has no removals [sic] policy. If you are an adult who has been submitted to this site tough luck [sic].” The page went on to state, “If you have the need to send mail please address it to MyEx.com c/o Web Solutions B.V. Attn Legal Department DMCA Complaints. Websolutions Netherlands, Singel 540 1017 Amsterdam The Netherlands Attn: Legal Department.”

Paid removals were handled in a similarly shady fashion. The site’s operators made those seeking content removal wire money to someone named “Shelly Mae Garcia” who supposedly lived in the Philippines. Those who refused to pay the extortion were invited to send snail mail to the fake address in the Netherlands.

The FTC finds the site owners to be in violation of the FTC Act, which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices by business entities. As is detailed in the complaint, there’s no shortage of evident harm created by the site’s posting of intimate photos without the consent of those depicted, along with as much personal info (names, addresses, social media accounts) as the site could harvest.

The settlement [PDF] with one of the site’s owners, Neil Infante, prohibits him from posting intimate photos without the explicit, written consent of the photo’s subject. It also subjects Infante to 20 years of FTC monitoring and a $205,000 fine. (It appears the FTC will only be able to collect $15,000 of this fine. The FTC’s press release states the rest of the fine will be suspended as Infante has shown “an inability to pay more.”) Infante is also prohibited from charging takedown fees for any content whose removal is requested. The FTC is still seeking to obtain judgments against the other participants in the revenge porn operation and is ordering Infante to turn over as much info as he has on his revenge porn colleagues.

This revenge porn operation is effectively dead. The nonconsensual part of the operation is blocked by the FTC judgment and the inability to charge removal fees pretty eliminates the most profitable revenue stream. It’s unclear what the future holds for Neil Infante, but it appears the Republican Senate race in Ohio (Infante’s home state) is suddenly in need of a new frontrunner . Perhaps FTC judgment recipient and former revenge porn site operator Craig Brittain could send his colleague a few ideas on to how to MAGA the hell out of the nation as a Senate race bottom-feeder .

For a flash fill portrait assignment for class. The image has to reveal something about the person. My ex came down yesterday to hang out so I put him to work to do this last second.. in true procrastinator format. He is a dancer, hence the pose.

This was a photoshoot I did 1 year ago... 2 months after we broke up. We were still hanging around eachother with the painful knowledge that I was to be moving to New York City at the end of May. Neither one of us was strong enough to fully seperate, but both of us knew that once I moved, it was truly over. We just couldn't let go.
Out of internal pain came productivity. This agonizing time inspired a lot of work from me-- both photographic and literary; as I was desperately grasping at straws to capture and document the time left for us as "us".

AUSTINTOWN, Ohio (WYTV) – An Austintown man has reached a settlement in a case, charging him with operating a “revenge porn” website.
Aniello “Neil” Infante was accused of being part of a business that posted sexually-explicit photos online of people without their consent.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, EMP Media, Inc. operated the website MyEx.com. The website is accused of soliciting nude photographs of exes without their knowledge. The website also collected personal information like their name, address and employer, according to a complaint filed in federal court on Tuesday.
Infante filed articles of incorporation for EMP Media and served as president of the company, according to court documents.
He, along with Shad “John” Applegate, were charged after an investigation into MyEx.com. The documents say Applegate registered the website using his email address.
The documents say in numerous instances, the defendants charged victims fees to remove their images and information from the site.
“MyEx.com uses reprehensible tactics to profit off of the intimate details of individuals’ private lives,” said Acting FTC Chairman Maureen K. Ohlhausen. “People who were featured on this site suffered real harm, including the loss of money they paid to remove intimate images and personal information, loss of jobs, and being subject to threats and harassment.”
As of December 2017, there were approximately 12,620 entries on the site, according to the complaint.
The FTC and state of Nevada approved a proposed settlement with Infante.
As part of the settlement, Infante is required to destroy the images and personal information in his possession and he is banned from posting such images without consent. He agreed to a $205,000 judgment, which the order will suspend upon payment of $15,000 in light of his inability to pay more, according to court records.
The payment received will be given to those who paid take-down fees to the company.

An Inside Look At New Netflix Docuseries ‘The Most Hated Man On The Internet’
VICE NEWS - BRINGING DOWN THE REVENGE PORN KING
Hello Hunter........It’s been nearly 10 years since I took over and shut down your despicable revenge porn site www.isanyoneup.com. Sometimes you need to be a bully to beat a bully and I’m the first to admit that I intellectually bullied the ever-loving shit out of you. Your main stated objective was to "ruin" young girls' lives. Even after they indicated that they were going to commit suicide if their unauthorized naked images weren't removed from your website, you laughed in their faces. Are you still laughing now? You tried to destroy their lives, but instead, I intellectually destroyed yours. You received a masterclass in the fine art of social engineering.
It was shocking that you were only sentenced to two and a half years in federal prison for your plethora of crimes. That wasn't nearly enough time for what you did to those girls. Just remember Hunter, revenge is never pretty, but when it's done meticulously, intelligently, and psychotically, it sure is a thing of beauty. Now, where's that $385,000.00 you owe me from that judgment out of Las Vegas ? Our ruthless attorney Marc Randazza sure did quite the legal enema on your ass. I still plan on donating every single penny I receive from that judgment towards battered women's shelters throughout the United States. Remember when you were arrested (again) for headbutting a woman in New York? You are the very definition of a coward.
Word on the street is that you were thinking about launching another revenge porn website called “anyoneup.com?” I heard some alleged psychopath swooped right in and intellectually bullied the shit out of you again. I don’t know about you, however, I’m really looking forward to seeing what www.anyoneup.com becomes. But the site that really caught my attention Hunter was www.isanybodyup.com. You had really big plans for that site! I heard that whoever owns www.isanybodyup.com was not happy when you threatened to rape his wife while his children watched. It’s simply amazing how many well-known publications kept referring to “isanyoneup.com” as “isanybodyup.com.”
I laughed out loud when Netflix referenced your failed relaunch of www.isanyoneup2.com . That was a rough day huh? Guess who owns that site Hunter? Lol......
Despite all your rage, you are still just a rat in my cage.
