Please post! (NO Mckayla Maroney as she was supposedly underage). I didnt think they'd disappear so quick and did t save anything.
I'm with you. Breaking into someone's computer storage and stealing private data is like breaking into their house and stealing pictures from their photo album. Wrong even if they leave the door unlocked.Bud Charniga's grape ape wrote:Am I the only one who's a little bit creeped out by this whole thing? Isn't there enough pron on the internet made by women who actually want to make pron? Do we really need to see naked pictures of women who never intended that those pictures be public?
I'm kind of with you but still want to keep distance from the #yesallwomyn crowd acting like this has something to do with rape culture or other stupidness. This has happened with men, and nobody cared much.nafod wrote:I'm with you.

Wonder what else was in their account? Did the thief only copy the nude pix files?Grandpa's Spells wrote:I'm kind of with you but still want to keep distance from the #yesallwomyn crowd acting like this has something to do with rape culture or other stupidness.

The arguments minimizing the accountability of the selfie-ers seem really thin. I get that modern culture changes very quickly, and maybe this is just something that everybody feels this is a right they have now. But given the realities of data security, if you're famous, you should refrain. The rules of privacy are different for people who decide they want to be famous. Want to be a US politician? Don't have skeletons in your closet. Want to be a Hollywood starlet? Stop storing nudes.
Certainly do NOT store nudes, homemade porn, etc. ANYWHERE online. Even if you're NOT famous.nafod wrote:Wonder what else was in their account?

Basically you're saying stop storing anything on-line.
Not at all. I have all sorts of stuff online. I bank online, and my accounts are FDIC insured so I can be confident in my safety. I have a large number of photos online as well. Being a non-famous person, this is not a concern for me.nafod wrote:Wonder what else was in their account? Did the thief only copy the nude pix files?

I'm having a real hard time seeing how this is any different from the "she was asking for it" defenseGrandpa's Spells wrote: I'm kind of with you but still want to keep distance from the #yesallwomyn crowd acting like this has something to do with rape culture or other stupidness.

That's because if you aren't exercising a modicum of common sense to protect yourself, the fact is you ARE asking for it.Bud Charniga's grape ape wrote:I'm having a real hard time seeing how this is any different from the "she was asking for it" defenseGrandpa's Spells wrote: I'm kind of with you but still want to keep distance from the #yesallwomyn crowd acting like this has something to do with rape culture or other stupidness.

Jesus.

Um, that's exactly the argument of the shrieking sisterhood: She and other women shouldn't have to have any sort of defences at all, because pigs shouldn't be pigs, assholes shouldn't be assholes, and bad people should start acting like not bad people.Grandpa's Spells wrote: Nobody seems to argue: "Jennifer Lawrence shouldn't have to have a bodyguard. Why don't we just teach stalkers to STOP stalking." Because that would be idiotic.
Setting aside that millions of people do see leaked photos of Starbucks baristas -- or else revenge porn websites wouldn't be a thing.Grandpa's Spells wrote:Same with privacy. Millions of people are not going to see a hacked leaked photo of a Starbucks barista. A celebrity has to worry about this more than a Starbucks barista, because they are a bigger target. That doesn't mean the celebrity is asking for it. The world fucks with people whether they ask for it or not, so plan accordingly.
