I agree with Mr. Church. To return to the example I gave, what Professor Carthy suggested in his paper would probably have a significant impact in deterring the woman's ex-partner from posting the images because, under the professor's proposal, he would have to disclose his identity and she would be able to identify who it was. She would still have the difficulty of disclosing her identity, but it would assist her considerably if there was a requirement for his identify to be disclosed.
