Naked Celebrity Leaks, Homework for Thursday, September 4

Living in the technological era, we are all at least familiar with the culture of sexting and taking "nudes". It has become something that society has started to accept, with Snapchat especially. Privacy becomes public the minute that picture is shared or stolen.

Scott Mendelson's article informs us that nude pictures from several celebrities were stolen from their phones and "leaked" out into the Internet. From there, he says that the victims/ celebrities have nothing to apologize for.They did nothing immoral or legally wrong. The situation is not a scandal, but a huge sex crime in which they have been victimized. It is also not their responsibility to protect their property from theft and hacking.

The celebrities haven't done anything illegal or immoral. It was their personal property, and it was stolen. Yes, they have been victimized. But if these celebrities don't want to end up being in this situation with the media exploiting it, then they should have either never taken the picture or found a way to better protect their property. People are going to steal, or try to steal. And the only way you can really prevent that from happening is doing your best to find ways to keep it private and safe.

As much as this topic comes up in the news, it isn't too much of a surprise for myself, and probably the same for a lot of people. But it does raise some suspicion.. how easy is it for our own photos and private property to be stolen?
