Maybe.
But just like dressing revealing does not justify rape, storing your private stuff on the cloud does not justify publication.

It is called basic risk management.

If I don't want outcome B, I avoid input A.

I don't want my private shit public, I don't store it anywhere near public access servers.

It is not that I am afraid of a random, law abiding citizen, I am afraid of how easy of a target it makes me to criminals.

Hmmm, although I understand your point, I do not agree.

Just like locking your home to secure it, you lock your cloud account to secure it. Either way, it does not give anyone the right to break into your home just because they have a screw driver. Also, just because someone might be able to break open your front door (or back door...) do you not buy that expensive tv?

It's like the other thread with the GHB detecting nail polish. Some people hate it because it shouldn't be necessary. But it is so I has a purpose. Same here.

People should feel safe to take and send pictures like these to their partners without fear of them being released like this. But its a possibility so don't do it.

Never heard of any of them.

Never heard of any of them.

I know of Jennifer Lawrence due to her X-Men part and her Hunger Games part. I also remember her from an episode of Cold Case.

She endeared herself to me when she was at some London awards show (or a premiere) and wearing a full length gown. A little girl with cerebral palsy was on the other side of a set of barricades (that would have been useful at the Somme in terms of depth) and Jennifer saw the girl holding some sort of sign. Jennifer went to an extraordinary effort to 1) evade her security and 2) surmount the barricades in a full length gown in order to go hug the little girl and have a picture taken with her.

That's class.

I've liked her ever since.

Well, first off, we aren't taking about 'rights', we are talking about dissuading criminals from taking our stuff.

And that all comes down to risk management.

Criminals don't really like risks if they can easily avoid them, so let's use your lock example:

If I have a standard lock on my door, a criminal must physically come to my location and either break my lock or break my door. That is a substantial risk, especially when it pertains to a Hollywood starlet. Not all of us get to live in a gated community with a constant security presence .

But, if I have an electronic lock, connected to an off site control centre, I have mitigated a great deal of the criminal's risk. I have given them the opportunity to break my lock at their leisure. No direct physical presence, just close enough to connect.

So, is it in my best interest to have a lock that is off site accessible or not? Definitely not, which is why the vast majority of good quality electronic locks are hardwired to a local control with off site monitoring only. I have increased the criminal's risk in an attempt to get him/her to ply their trade elsewhere.

Same reason so many people have alarm signs, but no alarm. For us plebs, any way.

It's not about rights, it's about making my stuff hard enough to take that a criminal weighs the risks and decides to go for an easier target.

This is why they went after what was stored on cloud systems. It removed enough risks that a criminal felt secure enough to take what they wanted at their leisure.

Aside from that, you have to be a fucking retard to post private shit to the cloud...

Clouds bring rain. If your data is in the cloud, what's the forecast?

People feel safe trusting others with their data for many inappropriate reasons. Trusting anyone other than yourself with your own data is asking for trouble.

Read the terms and conditions for many 'cloud' services. Many of them say that anything you upload becomes their 'property'. Facebook, Google+ so many others, if you upload photos then they become someone elses' Intellectual property.

Hey! Someone posted a 'what is your ninja name' app! Cute! Now someone posted a 'what your birthday says about you!' app! No harm in those, right? Except data scrapers now know both your name and your birth date. All that is needed now is an app to explore your mother's family tree and her maiden name and it's an identity theft in progress.

I keep photos in Google Drive like PhotoBucket for easy access but I have yet to use iCloud for anything and now I'm glad I don't.

[Regina]

This thread is nothing without pictures.

[xerxes]

I posted some of the SFW ones in the HDH thread the other day but I deleted them. The pics are hastily being copyrighted and legal action is being taken against all sites that are posting them so I'm gonna guess Trev wouldn't want that kind of trouble.

Ha, ha, I tried to find out what the fappening was and got this. Too funny.

Mmmm, no. Pretty girl, but it's like sitting in a restaurant that no one will ever come to take your order.

The ability to gain access to Apple's iCloud accounts has been an open secret among users of porn message boards for years, with enterprising users charging others to "rip" accounts and share nude photos.
