Abstract

ABSTRACT A range of technologies now exist to facilitate sexual desire, pleasure and intimacy. Colloquially known as tech-sex, the growth in the use of such technologies has created a range of new opportunities for sexual expression and connection. Alongside these benefits are harms arising out of their non-consensual use. Drawing on a case study examining management of image-based sexual abuse as part of Australia’s recently reformed online safety laws, we argue for a regulatory approach that is both facilitative in showing due respect for adult sexual agency and protective in mitigating harm caused to affected individuals. Operating along a facilitative-protective regulatory axis, such an approach offers the potential to be suitably responsive to both the opportunities and challenges faced by adult individuals who engage with such technologies.

监管科技性行为和管理基于图像的性虐待：澳大利亚视角

摘要现在存在着一系列促进性欲、愉悦感和亲密感的技术。这类技术的使用增长为性表达和性联系创造了一系列新的机会。除了这些好处之外，非自愿使用它们也会带来危害。根据一项案例研究，作为澳大利亚最近改革的网络安全法的一部分，我们对基于图像的性虐待的管理进行了审查，我们主张采取一种监管方法，既有助于对成人性行为机构表示应有的尊重，又有助于减轻对受影响个人造成的伤害。这种方法沿着促进性保护性监管轴运作，有可能对参与此类技术的成年个人所面临的机遇和挑战做出适当的反应。

期刊介绍： The last decade has seen the introduction of computers and information technology at many levels of human transaction. Information technology (IT) is now used for data collation, in daily commercial transactions like transfer of funds, conclusion of contract, and complex diagnostic purposes in fields such as law, medicine and transport. The use of IT has expanded rapidly with the introduction of multimedia and the Internet. Any new technology inevitably raises a number of questions ranging from the legal to the ethical and the social. Information & Communications Technology Law covers topics such as: the implications of IT for legal processes and legal decision-making and related ethical and social issues.
