Citing concerns about legitimate speech, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo has vetoed a bill that would have criminalized revenge porn. "The bill is apparently intended to curb the dissemination of private sexual material over the internet, but its sweep is much broader," she stated. "It could also cover works of art that depict the human body."
She added: "The breadth and lack of clarity may have a chilling effect on free speech."
