Therefore, in the continuation of the work, after defining the concept of revenge pornography, the author gives an overview of normative solutions in certain countries. The next part of the paper is devoted to the characteristics of revenge pornography. Revenge pornography is the subject of analysis by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, the author analyzed the given case. After that, the normative framework in the Republic of Serbia was presented, viewed through the prism of revenge pornography.
