German Court Orders Man To Destroy Naked Images of Ex-Partner (bbc.com)

Posted by Soulskill on from the revoking-consent dept.

AmiMoJo sends this report from the BBC: Germany's highest court has ordered a man to destroy intimate photos and videos of his ex-partner because they violate her right to privacy. The Federal Court said the man, a photographer, should no longer possess naked photos and sex tapes, even if he had no intention of sharing them. The woman had originally agreed to the images but this consent stopped when the relationship ended, the court said. Germany has some of the strictest privacy laws in Europe.

    To be fair to him: this is largely a theoretical issue.
