This is a move almost solely used to prevent further crimes of this nature.

Well its because nobody still takes revenge porn seriously, no matter how much they whine about it how its super evil. Almost like treating something as simple as Sending a fucking image as on par with rape immediately sets off people's "this ain't right" sensor and they don't process it.

Which means dumb teenagers and uncaring black dudes will continue to commit this super duper srs crime every day.
