You could soon get in legal trouble for sending unsolicited nudes on hookup apps
recently and unanimously passed Senate Bill 53, a law targeting so-called “cyber flashing,” the digital equivalent of showing your genitals in public.
The bill, if signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom, would allow anyone to sue another person if they receive “unsolicited sexually graphic material by text, email, app or other electronic means.”But the law wasn’t really meant to stop all sexytime flirting on hookup apps.
It was initially passed to stop two types of cyber flashers: those who use local networks to drop graphic sexual images onto the smart devices of everyone in close proximity, and those who send unwanted pictures of their junk as a form of online sexual harassment.At least one study has shown that this sort of harassment happens to women more often than men.
About 53 percent of women between the ages of 18 to 29 said that someone had sent them unsolicited, sexually explicit images in the past.
