So, no thread yet on The Fappening???

So, the FBI doesn't have enough to do what with ISIS, terrorism, murder, exploited children, etc.

Now they (luckily!!) have to "investigate" thousands of leaked naked celeb photos. Oh, the pain of it all. The pix are milder than PLayboy, 40 yrs ago. I guess only the 12 yr. old boys are salivating. Oh well.

Yes, the security breach is troublesome re: other types of hacking, but, really, these b-z narcissistic celebs are starting to annoy me.

Didn't Anthony Weiner, etc. teach you anything, you dumb twits? Don't post what you don't want your mother to see. Period. You're gonna sue w/taxpayer dollars? Yeesh.

Jane, any thoughts? Well, I guess I'm not to going to buy a smartphone after all. TOO smart. lol.

Why anyone would trust "The Cloud" is beyond comprehension. Freaking buy a couple external drives and back up everything there. Plain and simple.

They took the nudes, but they DID NOT CONSENT to sharing these images with the world. Blaming the female victim of a sex crime instead of the perpetrator is par for the course and nude photo thefts are no exception. Disgusting.

I've heard so much about how this is a problem with how we sexualize women and it seems the media is trying to turn this into a "women's" issue when in reality, it's an issue with online security.

And I am in the camp that thinks that even though it's not "fair", celebrities should not be taking these kinds of photos and storing them anywhere that they could ever be found by a hacker. Should they be allowed to, like everyone else? Sure, why not. But they have to understand that they're not like everyone else and that people are going to be trying to access their secrets. It's one of those trade offs to being rich and famous, I suppose.

And the same goes for celebs like Zac Efron who (thankfully) likes to be naked. He can't turn around and get mad that someone was following him and snapped pics of him when he was outside in the nude. They are ALWAYS going to be followed, either in person or online and that's just the world we live in.

LOL. There was a whole thread about them here.

I've never seen a naked picture of Zac Efron that wasn't proved to be a fake.

Phyllis let's hope you were looking in the wrong places.

The balcony picture of Zac is fake.

Since the nudes released were just women, and this thread is ABOUT those nudes specifically, I will address it as a female issue, since we are talking about female people.

But... why does it matter? You were addressing the general attitude about nude leaks which is a problem far beyond being a female one.

No need to apologize since I'm not wrong. It's a sex crime because those images were stolen property for the express purpose of titillation and gratification.

Where was it expressed by the person who obtained them? Because without him saying that... it's the exact opposite of expressed. It's assumed. What people did once getting the pictures, is out of the his hands. You have no way of proving that he did it for the sexual gratification. It's likely, but likely don't win court cases. Sex crime is a legal term, not a buzzword.

I agree with Theatrefan4 and disagree with Sutton, who mistakes "sex crimes", and "sexuality". Nobody is "blaming" these women. We're just calling them "stupid, which is what they are, if the photos were meant" for private use. Don't post them on a PUBLIC server, that's all.

These celebs took some nice selfies...which in of itself is fine by me, I mean, they used to call them French Postcards in the last century. A few were porno-like, but most were lame, or sexy. What these women AND men forget", is that:

NOTHING..

ON.
THE.
INTERNET.
IS.
PRIVATE.
NO.
MATTER.
WHAT.

Tiny, you seem to really lack knowledge on this entire situation. They didn't POST them on a public server. And no, I am not confusing sexuality with sex crimes. Please do your research, especially when you say "nobody is blaming these women."

LOL. I love how attacking me, even though I did not attack you, and simply asked you for your opinion, somehow makes sense in your mind. I know the law, and I know it's a sex crime. Just like I know Eric Garner was murdered. Whether or not they charge the people responsible for these crimes is a different thing entirely. But, talking to an incredibly ignorant man about this issue, who lacks perspective on pretty much all of it .... is nothing I want to entertain any longer.

Find me a case, Sutton. Just because you say something is a sex crime, doesn't make it a sex crime.

No, you don't know **** about Eric Garner because you weren't there. What is known is that he was killed. Whether it was manslaughter or murder, who knows, but it was certainly police brutality. We know that because we know what happened at the scene, we do not know what was going through the cop's mind at the time.
