What would you do if you found naked pictures of yourself posted online, without your consent? When a group of young Texas women found themselves on a so-called 鈥榬evenge porn鈥� website they decided to fight back and are now at the forefront of a push across the United States to criminalise 鈥榬evenge porn鈥�. The women say they want justice, but their critics accuse them of attacking freedom of speech. James Fletcher travels to Texas to meet them.
