On Sept 1, a new Texas law goes into effect that criminalizes posting intimate photos of a partner that were sent that were sent with the understanding they remain private on the Internet. Posting "revenge porn" will now be a class A misdemeanor which can come with up to $4,000 in fines and a possible year in jail.

今年9月1日，美国德克萨斯州一项新法即将生效。该法将对网络"色情报复"行为定罪。所谓的网络"色情报复"，是指在未经当事人允许的情况下，将那些被认为仍属私密的，与伴侣亲热的照片放到网上公开。如今，犯此类罪行将被判为A级轻罪，犯法者将被判上交多达4000美元的罚金，还可能被判入狱一年。
