So is the "Celeb Pic Leak" the new "MCD"? ....

IvaBigWun

... in that we're not allowed talk about it here?

Its a huge story and AH now has a big team of Mods. Surely it should be allowed?

It's called 'selective muzzling'. Mod noting the thread would have sufficed (asking people not to post links to said images).

Viral marketing for that new sh*tfest Sex Tape.

Exactly. AH has far more controversial topics on here.

I believe its called the fappening

Are some of you really looking for pictures of someone that were never meant to be made public? Because that's pretty rapey tbh. Don't be that guy.

I found the Paul Ross ones the most distressing

It'll be interesting to find out how exactly these photos + videos were collected.

This whole scenario will definitely be bad for whatever company will be seen as responsible and for the person(s) who will have the media industry and it's finest lawyers come down on them like a ton of bricks if they're caught.

Didn't the guy who leaked Scarlett Johansson's photos and getting into other celebrities' emails get 10 years in a federal prison?

No. That was last night.

Today it would be nice to discuss it.

That company would seem like Apple at the moment based on the amount of iPhones used to take the pic.

edit : though if it's just due to phising/password guessing then I doubt that Apple will get involved.

Apparently a lot of the pics were actually deleted by the owners but still stored in the cloud, whatever the fúck that is. I read that it could be bad news for Apple.

Good news for Jennifer Lawrence enthusiasts though.

You'll only discuss what you're allowed to discuss these days.

You should never store personal info on the cloud unencrypted.

Why was the thread closed BTW?

That guy? Hmm yep its all the rapey guys not just media obsessed ****wits in general

IvaBigWun

From what I understand, if you have it, iCloud automatically backups your pics even after you delete them, unless you go to Settings and ask it not to.

Thats a dangerous "standard" setting to say the least.

A bit like how easy it was for the News Of The World to hack into people's phones because the users never changed their voicemail from the one that every phone network uses (until you change it yourself).

I think this is only the beginning of "Cloud Leaks" and the end of how much trust people have in cloud storage . We're not just talking bold pics either, expect government documents and more to surface this way.

Person takes nude photo.

Nude photo gets into the public domain.

It's been happening for years. Comparing it to rape trivializes rape tbh.

Unless of course my sarcasm detector is broken and you weren't being serious.

There were one or two posters linking to image hosting sites that had loads of them on one page. Some of them were fairly graphic and I reported one of the posts myself because of this.

I expected a Mod to then remove these couple of posts, put up a warning and leave it open. Instead it was closed with no explanation.

I'm not really looking forward to it.

I'm really really really really really looking forward to it...

I'm not quite sure what this is about as I haven't been online, but you're around long enough to know that if you have a question like that, you PM a mod rather than starting a thread.
