Cheating on people is harmful too. It often results in broken homes and marriages, which is harmful to children's development and well-being.
So by that logic, cheating should be illegal too.
By the way, society hasn't decided anything because it's not a sentient being.
The politicians running our governments have decided that punishing people for "tax fraud" is a great idea, mostly because they don't want people to stop paying taxes.. which everyone would do right away if there was no punishment for disobedience.
No, because it is harmful. It harms a person's reputation. It also violates a person's privacy.
But cheating on someone shouldn't be criminalized even though it hurts at least as much
This is a false choice.
Society has decided that punishing people for cheating is a stupid idea. Society has also decided that punishing people for tax fraud is a good idea. These things are both completely irrelevant to any laws on revenge porn.
