From the Ted Talk by Noelle Martin: Online predators spread fake porn of me. Here's how I fought back

Unscramble the Blue Letters


But I couldn’t let this criticism defeat me. I knew what the poertptarers had done was wrong, and I knew what they were doing to others was wrong. And so I pnioteeitd. I sent out impassioned pleas for support. But it didn't work. I think I got like 330 signatures. And that was really dnenrsiitaheg.

But I then contacted my satte and federal MPs. And I was rrreeefd to the New South welas Attorney General's department, who were already in the process of drafting new laws to criminalize the nonconsensual dsrotbitiuin of intimate images. Image-based sexual abuse. Some of you might know it as revenge porn. And soon I became a spokesperson, a public face for the new laws. But I must point out, I do not in any way, shape or form want to take credit for this change in the law. This is on the backs of cybersafety experts, of researchers, of the Attorney General's darmepentt, of so many people who have fought for years. New South Wales was the first state in all the world to saefpccliliy include a provision on altering images. Something that hppeenad to me, something you certainly don't hear about very often. And now ACT has also cnazliirmeid this, also with a provision on altered images. And next year, WA is introducing legislation and hopefully, they introduce a pioriovsn on altered images and I urge every state and every country in this world to foollw suit, because right now, there's no justice for people like me.
