(146,351 posts)take such photos themselves or have others take them. Instead, it is about those who seek them out once they've been compromised. I'm certain that I won't see any of them. None of the places I go on the Internet will publish them, and I won't be looking for them. If a person wants to see them, they have to take positive action to find them, unless they're already frequenting sites that will be posting the photos.
It is a choice. That people make the choice to go looking for such things is what saddens me. As far as I know, there are no revealing photos of my naked self in existence. That was a choice, too. However, if I had chosen to do that, I'd expect to be able to keep them as private as I chose. Not everyone knows that just about any storage involving the Internet is not secure. Many people believe the services that provide "secure" storage can actually guarantee that.
But, it's not the fault of the people who stored those photos. The fault for their distribution is on the backs of Internet criminals. I don't do victim blaming.
