“The social news site Reddit took down a forum over the weekend that spread stolen naked photos of celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, saying users were reposting the images that had been removed for violating copyright law.

But another Reddit forum dedicated to sharing nude images of non-celebrities continues to thrive. That forum, which is called “r/photoplunder” and has nearly 30,000 readers, shows women in various states of undress under the tagline: “They should know better.”

The forum’s existence highlights the challenges facing “revenge porn” victims who try to get their intimate pictures removed from the Internet.
