I understand that the new law on revenge porn can't be applied retrospectively 
to something posted before that law was passed. But I'm surprised they haven't 
used the 1998 Data Protection Act, surely this is personal information about an 
identifiable individual, and it doesn't seem likely it is being used in 
accordance with the purposes that the individual consented to?

To bring things back to this list, are people comfortable with Wikipedia 
policies re revenge porn?

Regards

Jonathan
