Streisand effect in 3...2...1....
Oh dear. I'm actually very sympathetic to cases like these, and the bastards (assuming her story is true) are evil scum, but....... oh dear :-(
I presume if she was run over by a car, she'd sue Ford?
The Tor Project has found itself on the receiving end of a lawsuit that claims the privacy software's developers aided a revenge porn slinger. An attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) told The Register the allegations against the Tor team are baseless. In a lawsuit, Shelby Conklin accuses the Tor Project of …
Has it taken this long, or is she trying again?
1) Keep your pants on. Making yourself vulnerable at the deepest emotional and physical level is not something you just do for fun. Parents, its rather important that you teach your kids this, despite everything shown on TV, in films and broadcast on the radio and probably taught in schools. Stop living by your feelings alone and use some reasoning. Has your partner made a public statement of commitment to you alone, for life? If not, assume they will leave you. Has your partner had sexual relationships which ended badly? Why do you think you'll be any different? Feelings? We know those come and go. Love is a principled commitment to seek someone-else's best interest before your own. Until you have evidence your partner loves you and can control themselves, don't put yourself in jeopardy.
It seems a lot of effort is being put into trying to undo the consequences of living as if there are no consequences. It's a lie. There are always consequences. The right to be forgotten is a King Canute scenario. Your modesty is your responsibility, not the law's and it relates also to your choices before the photo's were taken. That's what the lock on the bedroom door is for.
2) No photos. There's no such thing as "private art." It's porn and it features you. If it won't be shown, you don't need it taken.
3) Social media. You risked pic's not just on paper, not just on your own hackable computer but out on the internet? (see title)
Yes its wrong to harass people like this, but there is usually an easy way to prevent it happening in the first place. Sadly, as a society, we seem determined to see the consequences as the problem and stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the real problem is with our own lack of judgement.
alternatively, sometimes people (who may be happily married) like to have a bit of fun with their partner, sending nice pictures when apart from a few days etc
I'd be quite unhappy if i lived in the eternal paranoia that perhaps my wife can't be trusted with these images
and it's also a fact that marriages break down and a VERY small percentage of jilted partners turn to sites like this
But I'm not going to live a marriage with my wife measured against a risk assessment
"I'd be quite unhappy if i lived in the eternal paranoia that perhaps my wife can't be trusted with these images"
Erm, you have considered what would happen if you or your wife were to lose the phone or have it stolen, right?
Maybe your PC or laptop where one of you may be backing up the images gets compromised or stolen. Given many phones backup all pictures to a server, you're relying on that server being kept secure indefinately, which may not be the case.
There's a myriad of reasons why the images could end up published without malice on either yours or your wifes part. Perhaps it was the same of some of the women in question?
Naked pictures are not necessarily "porn" - although people's definitions vary considerably depending on their social culture and their own dark desires.
Several of my old friends are very pleased to have pictures of themselves at what they consider their peak of physical beauty in their late teens or twenties. Every few years I check whether they still want me to retain any copies. Loss of contact means that I purge the set.
... not bad. I always thought that there is no good reason for taking sex pictures, except blackmail, but I will suggest my wife that we take some pics next time, have someone post them on whatever site and ask for millions of dollars... oh wait, this does sound like blackmail.
Not usually sympathetic to people stupid enough to gift pix of themselves as nature intended to others and expect them to stay confidential, but in the case of this sort of website I have to say that how limp-dicked can you be to need to use this sort of anonymous vengeance bullying to get satisfaction?
Seriously? *This* is all you have? And you don't even have the balls to claim ownership?
No wonder she dumped your sorry backside.
