> were straight up revenge porn. Citation needed. Even Wikipedia lists it as an abandoned laptop that was trawled for data. Trash as far as I know is legitimate object of search (e.g. police does it). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden_laptop_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden_laptop_controvers...

The smoking gun email in the "Part 1" Twitter Files thread from Taibbi was a request from the Biden Campaign to look at a list of otherwise-undescribed-and-since-removed tweets. This was strongly implied to be a request for censorship of the laptop story. Then someone found an archived copy of all but one of the tweets, and they all turned out to be pictures of Hunter Biden's penis.

  > Then someone found an archived copy of all but one of the tweets, and they all turned out to be pictures of Hunter Biden's penis. Yes, he left his images on laptop. That's not revenge porn, as far as I know. > The smoking gun email in the "Part 1" Twitter Files Don't quote me on that, but from my memory not only were links to Hunter deleted, but so were discussions of it from even reputable journalist. I think it was a Washington Post that discussed Hunter's laptop, and it got buried or deleted. That's only Part 1. They also marked Trump tweets as fake, even though they found some exonerating information and vice versa. Plus the weekly meetings with FBI/OGA (alias for CIA), around misinformation spreading tweets, etc. You basically have a government agency labeling stuff as misinformation for deranking/deletion. If that doesn't raise any First Amendment issues, I'm not sure what will? Capturing journalist and keeping them in horrible conditions? Water torture and organ transfer of said journalists?

    Re-distributing intimate material without the subjects permission is pretty much the definition of revenge porn.

      > In late 2020, a controversy emerged involving data from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden that was abandoned at a Delaware computer shop.[1] The data was subsequently shared with the FBI, Republican operatives, and later the press.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden_laptop_controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden_laptop_controvers... That's a very strange definition of revenge porn. It was made inadvertently by Hunter Biden, it wasn't used for blackmail and it is related to a bulk of other interesting email.

        Revenge porn isn't necessarily always used for blackmail. Why didn't the FBI, Republican operatives, or the press blur Biden Jr.'s penis before making it public? It was obvious political vendetta. What public interest is served by leaking it unredacted? Definition of revenge porn from a quick googling is: >Revenge porn is the distribution of sexually explicit images or videos of individuals without their consent This fits the description 100%.

        dictionary.com: "revenge porn - noun - revealing or sexually explicit images or videos of a person posted on the internet, typically by a former sexual partner, without the consent of the subject and in order to cause them distress or embarrassment." It's not a question of who took the photos. It's a question of whether the people sharing them had the permission of the subject to share them. While Blackmail may be a component of some revenge porn, it's not required by this or other definitions.

        Ok, but say a public figure is involved in a scummy situation, and left their laptop detailing their shady dealings (along some naked pictures) at repair shop and forgot about it, but a journalist managed to get docs from said laptop including naked pictures, does it invalidate the whole cotnent of laptop as revenge porn? By point is, having naked pictures on your laptop don't make docs and other stuff found as revenge porn.
