Hacked accounts

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

I am not outraged by the hacking and stealing of the pics. I think it is wrong and the guys are slime and should be prosecuted for their crimes.

My semi-outrage is when people here are arguing that you should not have a reasonable expectation of privacy on the internet.

Creepy guys named Tom have been looking into people's houses for years (even before the internet!) to try to sneak a peek at a naked female. These creeps named Tom will always be there, so I guess you should not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in your own home?

"Reasonable expectation of privacy" is a legal term, and legally speaking, people (even celebrities) definitely can have a REoP regarding some uses of the internet. But from a common sense standpoint, especially for celebrities, you absolutely should not expect safety or privacy in anything you do on the web. They probably shouldn't expect it in a hotel room either. Price of fame and all that. Doesn't make it right, but let's not throw common sense out the window.

Is "if you take a picture with your phone it is automatically on the internet" common sense?    I'm not an idiot when it comes to technology and I wouldn't have thought that.

No, but it defies common sense as a celebrity to take a picture like that in the first place.

I'm sad for you that you're a grown man and you still don't know that actors and musicians aren't mystical beings that live fantasy lives.

Many of them do live in a fantasy world.

I'm guessing a huge number of people are uploading their pictures to google or icloud without knowing it.

When I got my current phone, I had to opt out of photos automatically uploading. I didn't even realize that it was happening until I was taking photos of other people's children for work with my phone and I noticed the little upload/download arrow in the status bar. I had to go into my Google+ account , that I didn't even sign up for, for my first and only time to delete those photos and others that I didn't even know were there and to opt out of the auto uploading.

I am not certain that I understand the meaning of the word 'synonymous'.
Help me out...when I say 'the cloud', does that mean 'all of the internet?

[wetwillie]

Yes

[Asteriskhead]

Yup.

[Tobias]

no

I have my entire music library uploaded to the cloud. It is accessible from any device with an internet connection. If I wanted to upload photos and videos to it, I could as well.

However, content doesn't have to be uploaded to the cloud for it to be accessible. Truthfully, any device connected to the internet is accessible to any other device connected to the internet. All it takes is the right key strokes.

[slobber]

I may be a monkey's uncle, but I thought that the cloud was a 'storage' device whereby files could be uploaded either knowingly or unknowingly.

To be fair...anything that is on my phone I assume is available to anyone connected to the internet.  I hope everyone enjoys the pics of excavator parts as much as I do.

Do you assume that the access is legal or illegal?

Oh yeah, slew me baby

Let me ask a different question, then.  What do you think the internet is?

[sonofdaxjones]

Seems like the perfect time to put a former Google exec in as America's Chief Technology Officer.

Literally mountains of qualified people in this country for that position, but let's go with the former Google chic.

Is google not good at tech stuff?

This is what happened to Nicname's phone when it got stolen, right?

I think he is talking about that google security breach that caused this whole mess.  Wait, that can't be right either . . .

The internet is a connection to other networks.
I realize they are similar. I just think they have different meanings. I don't hear anyone saying "I'm gonna go surf the cloud".

Similarities don't make them the same. Illegal is still illegal.  Even in the non-tech world, you cant just come across something and assume it is yours.  There is process and precedent that goes into that, either that or the two business law classes I took (one in HS and one in KSU) completely lied to me.

You are correct from my limited exposure to the law.

My legal training tells me that it would be 9/10ths mine.

No one wants to admit it, but that is how hillbilly law works.
