    While she ought to be tossed in jail, she is likely shielded by the Speech & Debate clause.

      For what she did on the floor of Congress, yes.

      But she also emailed it out to her supporters. That ain’t “speech or debate in either House”

      Taking a private citizens’s nudes and sharing it against their will in congress may go against the spirit of that clause. I would love to see how this holds up in court.

          So if I turn my laptop in to a repair shop, which is what he did, they have the right to publish anything they find on it?

          If you give your employer your bank info for direct deposit does that give them the right to drain your bank account?

          No?

          Because that wasn’t the reason you gave them the information?

          Huh. So the reason you disclose something is relevant to how it is used? Go figure. 🤷

            Exactly. Intent matters.

            Further to the point. Let’s say a person shares nude photos of themselves to a lover. Does the lover then have the right to post them on the Internet?

            This is why revenge porn laws exist.
