it's pretty crummy and whoever hacked the stuff should get in big time troubs. but there's a small part of me that thinks this is similar to markering the face of some passed out person. crappy and i wouldn't ever do it or want it done to me but eff, you know?
Not that I've ever markered the face of a drunk person but it seems like that hardly raises to the level of any type of privacy invasion. I mean one of the victims said she took her picture three years ago for her husband and it was long deleted from her device when the leak happened.
What people keep forgetting in all of their silly analogies is that this hack isn't limited to celebrity nudes. It's not like they saw a file titled "Kate Upton tits" and left it at that. You know what's more common than people taking naked pictures, people taking pictures of their kids. Not that I'm stupid enough to use an iPhone, my wife is, but two years ago when my daughters took their first bubble bath we took a picture, it was cute. Do you trust that whomever hacked into icloud isn't a sick kiddie pervert or is above selling pictures to sick kiddie perverts? Is that analogous to marking on someone's face?
so you agree that the people that hacked it should get into trouble and that it shares some small similarities will permanent markering on the face of a passed out person? good. glad we agree.
Is the "get in trouble" with regard to writing on someone's face is the person waking up and mustering up 10 seconds of faux outrage? Cause again, not that I know but it seems like that's the cap on someone getting in trouble for writing on someone's face. @trim & @fily, am I on the right track here?
i don't understand your post. here is my opinion...
1)someone taking nude pictures of themselves on something that is internet accessible= leaving themselves vulnerable to people looking to cause problems.
2)someone getting so drunk that they pass out and can't defend themselves=leaving themselves vulnerable to people looking to cause problems.
what is similar from there, i don't know...
marking on their face vs hacking nude photos? probably not. hacking nude photos is worse in my opinion.
putting your balls on their face vs hacking nude photos? idk. maybe. sexual assault?
putting your penis in their mouth vs. hacking nude photos? penis seems worse.
stealing their wallet if you are at a house party at their house and they pass out vs hacking nude photos? tie? seems like it.
stealing two beers from their fridge if you are at a house party at their house and they pass out vs hacking nude photos? hacking nude photos worse in my opinion.
so in my opinion, hacking these photos is basically like stealing the wallet from the passed out homeowner of a house party but not as bad as just taking two beers from him/her.
some personal responsibility for the fact that he shouldn't have passed out and the people that stole the wallet should go to jail or whatever. the people that were just drunk around 2am and drank two beers? let them go.
where people get weird and wrong in my opinion is differentiating nude photos from money or a computer or beers and a wallet at 2am and wanting these people to have some kind of death sentence or something. just my opinion.
