My point here is that if you are going to pissed enough about someone grabbing your naughty pics and smearing them all over the web so much that you want them to be legally punished, then maybe you should take that into account before you send your naughty pics out onto the net in the first place.

Otherwise, if you really don't care who all on the net sees you in your naughty pics, why bother enforcing the legal penalty? No real damage seems to have been done to you.

i think you're really oversimplifying/misconstruing the issue. sharing pics with who you choose to share them with is not the same as showing them to 'who all on the net' and not caring if they see them, no? if someone takes my personal property and gives it to everyone else then yes, some damage has been done.

suppose i draw a lovely picture, and then someone takes my lovely picture and puts it on every website they can find, and removes my credit for it and takes credit for it themselves. should i just not have drawn my picture? or not have allowed others to see it because someone might do the wrong thing with it? should i not take legal recourse because i should have known that could happen?

suppose i write a book and publish it, but then someone makes their own pdf and distributes it for free to everyone who wants it. would you still argue that i have nothing to be mad about, because no damage has been done?

or pirated movies?

it's a privacy issue and an intellectual property issue. attaching your moral judgment to it (lol, naughty pictures) is just sidestepping the issue and giving yourself a feel-good buzz about your own superiority, to know to avoid such risks, and a hint of schadenfreude at others getting what you think are their just desserts.

Yeah, I wouldn't go to court or the cops about it, I'd just be wounded about the breach of trust, I wouldn't give a toss that the world saw my bits, just another part of my body.
If an ex did that to me, many other female friends of mine would probably do her over because they'd also be angry about the breach of trust as well.
...they'd look at the pics/vids first though for sure lol

I remember the days of old when you could take a Polaroid and send nudes in the mail.

a reply to: Thecakeisalie

You still can. And then if the recipient waves their "phone" in front of the photos Facebook & Google pretty mush automatically have them uploaded into their AGI. The pictures last longer.

Lol, I remember the same!
Plenty of me could be scanned from the 90's and posted online, but again, I would only be disappointed by the breach of trust. I wouldn't care people seeing me naked.

I wonder how many perverts have applied for this post?

Here's the thing ... You. Can't. Stop. Them.

See, you make the picture and send it to 5 people. You have no way of knowing what those 5 people will do with it. You expect they will keep it to themselves, but you have no way of knowing. If even 1 of those 5 shares it, maybe even with just 1 other person and so on and so forth ... all it takes is to hit just one person in that ever expanding circle who doesn't give a toss or makes a mistake or something and HELLO, NURSE! you're the new viral celeb in certain circles.

Even just a lost or stolen phone could do it somewhere along the chain.

If it's something never intended for anyone else's eyes, then you make sure it never could get to anyone else's eyes. One really good way to do that is to keep it off your electronic devices.

Do you never trust people with anything then?
That's basically how you appear, 'if you don't want it given away, don't trust anyone to mind your precious thing which you want them to keep to themself'
You have made no mention of the breach of trust, nor condemned it.

Sounds like victim blaming to me.

Its a wild and wacky world we are in at the moment ...Trying to break down the silly parts to arrive at a agreement may not be whats happening . It may just be one small step for stupid to get to a giant step to the end .

I don't know who the two guys are but that was an interesting interview

Gotten plenty of naked pictures (& videos) from girls.
Sent them as well (only upon request cause dudes sending pics unsolicited doesn't always go over too well).
Wouldn't take any of it back. Was all totally fun and exciting. They trusted me, and rightly so as I would never betray them. But releasing them to them to the public without consent is, of course, betrayal. But that said, if any pictures of me got out... what do I care. Won't affect me or my work one bit. If you have a job where it might affect that or if this is a huge worry of yours, then you should probably think differently about sending them.

But the truth is that the kids do it non-stop. In fact, they do it so much that for their generation it won't affect them in the slightest because it will all be super-saturated and something that most all of them have done. No one will judge even if someone is running for public office.

It's about time anyway in this crazy country where everyone are such issue-ridden prudes (violence = yay! boobs = cover those up you scum!!) and you had people like Ashcroft covering up the Lady Justice statue because seeing a naked statue might send him into a uncontrollable masturbation frenzy.

But if you think that Facebook is doing this so they can see free naked people then you haven't looked for porn on the internet in the past 15 years. It's already all free and there so much of it that you could spend a lifetime watching and never watch the same thing twice. Seems dumb to send it to Facebook, but not for that reason.

With something like that?!

You better believe I don't trust ... just like I don't tend to walk buck naked down dark streets in the wrong parts of town.

Do I deserve to get raped? No, and someone doing it is still committing a crime. But let's be plain. If I am doing that, at some point I have to acknowledge that I also should have known better to some degree.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Your world seems emotionally bleak to me.
I trust many people. Forget nude pics, my ex wife is still joint on my bank accounts, she could legally clean me out and I couldn't do a thing about it. She's joint because if I die she can take all my money with no bull# dealing with authority, and more importantly, no delay.
Total trust, but you seem to be saying if I wan't my funeral paid for and my son to have whatever I have I should use a lawyer or something to sew the deal up or I'm stupid for trusting.
What a bleak world of friendships you must live in.

EDIT
Trusted friends are worth more than their weight in gold

a reply to: CornishCeltGuy

Nice hyperbole.

We go from talking about not trusting people with naked pictures of myself and not really trusting them on electronic media in general, to me never, ever trusting anyone, anywhere, at any time for anything.

You have made yourself ridiculous in your effort not to see my point.

Never to fear, I've heard beards can defeat the facial recognition algorithms, so by extension...

But you're the one implying I never trust anyone.

What I said specifically is that if it's not intended for anyone else's eyes I make sure it can't get there. So if I only ever want that one person to see my naked, then that's the only one who will. One of the best ways to make sure of that is to keep my naked image off all electronic devices.

Do you think I don't even trust myself because that's the implication. Of course I trust myself. I know I would never knowingly spread my naked image around, but I can't ever guarantee that my electronic device is 100% secure. You never know who is waiting to hack in. My computer has an Intel processor and we all know they have that exploitable backdoor, for example.

So wouldn't I be nuts to store a naked image on my computer? Why would I think my phone is any more secure?

If you give something to someone else, then it's no longer your personal property. It's theirs now, and they can use it however they wish.

That's common sense, and something that's severely lacking this day and age. Common sense isn't so common anymore.
