  • I appreciate the advice, but I don’t have that kind of money on hand. Or the willingness, for that matter, to take any of this to court. I get stress ulcers enough just dealing with day-to-day life. At this point, I’ll be content to just get out of here.

    And like I said, it’s not uninhabitable. Place is practically a basement, so it’s only on the most miserable days that the heat seeps in enough that I mourn I can’t fit myself in the fridge, lmao.


  • Not uninhabitable, just uncomfortable. My landlord is not exactly cooperative in any case, and it takes time, resources, and perhaps most of all, energy to square up seriously on such issues. He already has refused to fix the heating, the oven, the wonky electricity, and the leaky roof, and is currently trying to kick me out so he can raise rent.

    … I’m actively looking for a new place.

    To win an IIED claim, you need to prove the sender’s behavior was extreme and outrageous, they acted with intent to cause you severe emotional distress or with reckless disregard for that possibility, and that you suffered severe emotional distress as a result.

    Another legal ground is invasion of privacy, specifically a claim for “intrusion upon seclusion.” This recognizes that individuals have a right to be left alone in their private affairs. Your direct messages, email inbox, and text message threads are considered private spaces. When someone intentionally intrudes by sending offensive material, it can be viewed as a highly offensive invasion of your privacy.

    It would seem a very difficult argument to apply in this case.

    While violation of social media ToS is possible, I find it difficult to believe that a court would regard the sex crime angle of publishing one’s own photos online seriously. Otherwise anyone linking to their OF without asking for permission to send the link first would be a sex criminal.
