"Wasn't This Previously A Form Of Sexual Harassment?

With a majority of people owning a mobile device, sexting has become an everyday occurrence across the lifespan. Sexting has led to the increase of sexual harassment that isn't consensual. SEXTING Sexual harassment is a well-known problem that affects a large number of people. Findings suggest it is the most prevalent kind of discrimination. Additionally, sexual harassment is negatively associated with mental wellbeing and wellbeing. Research shows that those who are harassed suffer a proliferation of physical or psychological symptoms, and specific increase in depression, anxiety and stress-related symptoms as well as self-esteem. This indicates that the effects for victims can be devastating and last for a long time. In an effort to lessen sexual harassment, Texas passed a law that requires consent from the victim. The law leaves open the question of consent in digital form. This study employed thematic analysis to explore the concept of digital consent, by analyzing initial reactions to the newly passed law. The study revealed two major themes from participants' reactions to posts that communicated approval and posts that communicated Desapproval. Each subtheme is described in the analysis. The study gives an insight into how people react to a specific law concerning a behavior that in itself isn't well understood or agreed upon, identifying a large problem within the law and lack of clarity regarding the concept of digital consent. Limitations, future directions, and implications of these findings are discussed.
