A lot has happened this week on social media, a sexually explicit video of Free State Legislature’s speaker, Zanele Sifuba was leaked allegedly by a man who was trying to extort money from her. In another story, as Sonia Booth, the wife of soccer legend Matthew Booth shared details of his alleged infidelity, people started sharing photographs of him and the woman he is accused of cheating with. The photographs were taken without his consent. All of this is a violation of people’s right to privacy, so what are the legal options when something like this happens and how serious is the crime of leaking someone’s sex tape or sharing someone’s photographs that you took without consent? We are now joined by Justine Limpitlaw, specialist electronic communications law consultant.
