It's not beefy, it's just OPEN

I'd still plant my face in that for as long as she'd let me....

I'm going to say something that I hope gets received in the spirit in which it is written. This isn't meant as a screed against anyone here. I realize that, on the surface, there are logical inconsistencies in what you're about to read (if you have the interest to read to the end) that I need to think through, but I can't help but think this.

 

I'm going to admit that I haven't yet seen any of these pictures and have no plans to look at them. Were these women risking their privacy by doing what they did? I'd say they were. I don't know how many of them knew of the automatic cloud backup thing. Maybe you could argue that they shouldn't have done this if for no other reasons than that of prudence. That's a minor point. I'm not about to blame them for this. Most of them are likely as technologically astute as your average American and didn't realize that the auto-backup was even functioning or that it could (or should) be turned off.

 

What really, really gets me, though, is this: We get media coverage of these women virtually 24/7/365. Every little detail of their lives is covered, examined, scrutinized and babbled about for days on end by a 24-hours-a-day news industry that plays to the lowest common denominator within their viewing audience. If their audience didn't ask for this garbage then they wouldn't provide it. They do it without a shred of guilt or second thought because RATINGS!!

 

When the individuals within 4chan threw this in the public's eye the media's tune changed and it changed drastically. There was so much self-righteous chest-thumping it was almost comical. Now *I* understand the huge chasm of difference between what the media does and what 4chan did. One is perfectly legal (if rather slimy) and the other is provided through illicit, if not outright illegal, means. So don't think for one second that I'm equating the two in terms of innocence, guilt, or meaning.

 

However, what I've heard the media carping about is not so much the illegality of 4chan's actions as it is the fact that they invaded the privacy that these women have (or had.) They act self-righteous and high and mighty about the fact that 4chan did the same thing that they do on a regular basis. Again, I understand that the methods in which the end result is achieved is vastly different, but that specific point is not what I'm hearing the media prattling on about.

 

All I hear is them babbling about the fact that someone else is playing their game and took 10 seconds to rewrite the rules.

 

I'm not excusing what 4chan did - not by any means. I think it's reprehensible no matter how much responsibility the women had to shield themselves from this. It's just that I also find it disgusting that the news media can get so high and mighty about someone else doing virtually the same thing they do, but only with less scruples. If that were at all possible.

At least the people on 4 chan are up front about their intentions. You are 100% correct about the "normal" media. Bunch of slimy good for nothing shit heels.

Sounds like it may have been a phishing scheme that got them to share their password.

My understanding is it wasn't that complicated. They used the forgot password feature and were able to figure out the answers to the questions pretty easy. It isn't hard to figure out the city, school, mother's name etc for a celebrity.

pretty much this, just exploiting the generic information that celebrities forego for being under the everwatching eyes of media.

This.

New Jennifer Lawrence pics.I just thought she was a freak from the last dump.

The ones I saw today are from a magazine or something. I saw them published a couple of weeks ago. She managed to get pretty much all of the ones from last time suppressed. But she sure is a wild one...

Where are you finding this?

Google the fappening

[SchwanzBrewer]

I did, but I didn't see any articles or links that weren't from August of last year.

[Buzz Buzzard]

Still, not a bad revisit.
