I look at it more on the level of discussing crimes via text or email or what have you. (I’m not saying sexting is or should be a crime. It’s an analogy).
If you don’t want it to get out, don’t document it. If you don’t care if it gets out, do whatever you want.
That’s not to say that it wouldn’t also be nice to have control over your own image nor that people shouldn’t go to jail for revenge porn, etc., but once it’s out there, it’s out there. You can’t put it back into Pandora’s box. That’s just how reality works.
Yeah, I get that part, it’s entirely too easy for shit to go wrong. But victim-blaming is tepid, wet garbage, and always points in the wrong direction. We need to get better, as a collective, at locking our data the fuck down, and slapping the shit out of the people who act maliciously with it.
Sometimes we take the wrong choices because we aren’t perfectly logical machines. Sure thing everyone (yeah me as well y’know) could use some extra precaution, but you can’t blame people for that. Aim at the criminals, not the victims. That equals saying that you can’t make mistakes, in a way it’s true but it’s often a justification for victim blaming.
See that’s the unique problem here. As long as there’s a method of sharing photos there’s going to be a way to compromise that system. And corporations aren’t built around data privacy. They’re built around selling data. So not only do they have an access route for your friends, they’ve left an access route for themselves too. All a bad guy has to do is spoof that connection and they can pull everything. That’s not something you can get rid of until you get rid of capitalism.
I’m really not following your reasoning in this thread. Are you arguing that we would have a way to securely transfer nude images to another individual and prevent them from distributing that image if such a technology created value for shareholders? And we can’t do that because it doesn’t?
We can’t even protect it on your device. The capitalism thing is the why of it all. There’s more value to just marketing something as secure than to actually writing and testing stuff thoroughly. As a result corporations just don’t do security very well at any level unless it’s required by the government and the penalty is complete loss of revenue. But you only see that in military contracting and Banks.

Yes, exactly, capitalism is always the enemy, let’s point the blame where it actually belongs
[not /s, beeteedubs]
I’m glad you cleared that up, it did read a bit like sarcasm. But yes, we can’t have true data security or privacy for one very important reason.
It doesn’t create value for the shareholders
