Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

Has anyone heard of this website and do
you all know of any writings from anti-violence activists and advocates
against it?  A student recently approached me about this website because
she was disturbed by the fact that apparently some students were utilizing
the Is Anyone Up? website to release harassing nude photos of exes and
past "hook ups" without their permission and also posting their
facebook & twitter accounts with the photos on the site,  so that
others could contact and harass the intended targets.

I was unable to access the website itself,
but I've included a wikipedia article on the website as well as the website
of the founder of Is Anyone Up, Hunter Moore (which might I add is an equally
disturbing website).  (I'm hoping I couldn't access it because it
has been shut down, but you never know.)

Please let me know colleagues if you
all have any insight on this, and whether this is becoming popular on your
campuses.
