Australia needs to criminalise revenge porn or empower an agency to force websites to take down private intimate images, a parliamentary inquiry says.
A Senate inquiry into the social problem - in which naked or sexual images of a person are shared without their consent to humiliate or embarrass them - says there is no doubt about the need for legislation.
In a report released on Thursday, the committee says the federal government should also consider giving an agency powers to issue take-down notices for such images.
