Hacked/leaked nude photos discussion

<< < (7/15) > >>

LeeC:
dont confuse my post with my side of the argument, just found it interesting and though it best serve here than the pointless thread.  :-P

honestly its a weird subject for me.  On the one hand you can say "Don't take nude selfies, else your phone/tablet may get hacked and they show up everywhere on the internet" which is fine and safe for sure, but it sounds awfully close to saying women should not dress provocatively to prevent rape.  The victim is just that, the victim. It is not their fault some ass hat violated them.  Does that mean to prevent my car to be stolen I should not own a car to be stolen?  I should not give a criminal the opportunity?  Though limiting risk in important for survival, like dont poke a lion in the butt with a stick and instead avoiding said lion, this is a completely different lion.

I think some people think that getting hack is the same as actually posting your nude selfie on the internet.  If someone posted a nude selfie of them-self on the internet then I honestly don't have any remorse.  The internet is a place where things stick and is near impossible to completely scrap stuff out of it.  Getting hacked on the other hand means someone violate a private piece of equipment or account to get data (or in this case pictures).  Now I can see Vincent's argument about that fact that the person is a celeb which means some hackers may target her because of her fame, and the fact that there are some fucked up people out there that would do it is not preventable unless you abstain from taking nude pictures.  It makes logical sense but then again as stated above its pretty fucked up.

my stance: take nude pics or don't.  Personally I will not but if someone else does then that is there business.  If they get hacked, well the hacker should be tracked down and persecuted.  The sad truth is it'll be stuck in the interwebz unless people who acknowledge that this is a breach of privacy stop uploading and sharing the pictures, instead reporting those who have.

 The victims in this case had their images on a server that was protected by security, that security was breached by a criminal. They had a reasonable expectation that their property would be secure. The argument being made in the image, and by plenty of people, is exactly like saying "Don't own anything, even if keep it licked in your house, and it won't get stolen."

GarandMarine:
Actually it might be better represented as "If you live in an area where you might find yourself a target of theft, don't leave the diamonds out"

sitnspin:
Except, they didn't "leave the diamonds out" someone broke in and stole them.

Getting back to this Hufflepuff business...

It's not exploitation when a woman like Ariana Huffington does it, it's empowerment!  Stupid?  Yes, but still a valid excuse.

I don't see any problem without seeking out the pictures.  If someone offers you a ride in a stolen car, the car isn't any more stolen just because you got in.

Nothing is secure on the internet.  One has to be foolish to think otherwise.
