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 ‘revenge porn’ website they decided to fight back and are now at the forefront of a push across the United States to criminalise ‘revenge porn’. The women say they want justice, but their critics accuse them of attacking freedom of speech. James Fletcher travels to Texas to meet them.
