The panic over this specific genre of video distracts from real digital safety issues: lack of device encryption for families, the normalizing of revenge porn, and the need for digital literacy in schools.
Sharing or even possessing non-consensual sensitive media is a criminal offense in many jurisdictions. Laws regarding "revenge porn" and privacy violations carry heavy fines and potential jail time.
The hashtag #BrotherSisterMMS began trending, with many users expressing their opinions on the matter. Some called for the video to be taken down, citing concerns over the privacy of the individuals involved and the potential for it to be used for harassment or bullying. Others debated the societal norms and taboos surrounding sibling relationships, with some arguing that the video was being blown out of proportion.
