I find it weird that people are remotely comfortable looking at private images not intended for them.
Can we talk about the apparent iCloud break-in?

Hey but you put that shit up on YouPorn and it's good2go!
What? 10 years? Haha what?
Famous people are worth more than the rest of us and therefore they must be defended much more vigorously.
Nobody cares if you put a banana in the tailpipe of an old prius, but scratch up a Ferrari and shit goes down.
People are curious about stuff like this, of course they're going to look.

She could hire the best lawyers in the country at a moments notice and without any financial concern whatsoever. Hence why I have no idea why you'd fuck with them like this. Hell, if they got together and bankrolled the court case collaboratively the guy is straight up done.
"Curiosity" isn't exactly the reason most people are looking, methinks.
There's better stuff to fap to, but to each there own.
The moral aspect is interesting, Victoria Justice said her's are fake, so you can feel free to view those all day long.
There's an argument to be made for viewing any pornography as immoral, it's not produced from a healthy place at all, and as an industry it feeds on sexual dysfunction. We're curious by nature, is it right to view the JLaw pics? Probably not, but I can't say I feel bad about it.

How does that follow?
Honestly I feel like that kind of reaction is somehow smarter than the scorched earth style that leads to those crazy Streisand Effect moments.
I mean it sounds stupid, but the onus is on everyone but her to prove they're real. If you just shrug and go that's not me feel free to share, it really kills whatever fun the leakers probably were going for.
Anyhow all this is way less interesting to me than gaming side having a shit storm over tgs.
She said they're fake, they're composites, they're not of a real person.
Or it makes you look stupid when it clearly is you.
I don't think this problem is Apple's problem, at all. Nor any of the cloud storage firms. It's simply due to lack of knowledge.
Users just want to set something up and not give a shit afterwards, without thinking about their actions. Are there pictures that I've taken with my phone that are auto synced? Absolutely, but I make sure I delete the ones from cloud storage that I don't want to be on there. And two factor should be mandatory, but people would get annoyed as it flies in the face of accessibility. We have a society that want absolute convenience without the need to think about it.

The components are.
Humans are inherently curious. For many, these actresses represent celebrity, beauty, crushes etc. It's not about invading privacy, but tasting the forbidden fruit in a sense. Plus people love scandals all the time. The fact you aren't meant to see it is the allure itself.
Which is exactly why I'm confused at this thread and pointing the finger at iCloud. I saw mostly android phones in those pictures.

It is what it is man. They're naked pictures of hot actresses. I don't think it's surprising that people are interested. My dick doesn't care who the pictures were intended for.
Sure, they're someone's nipples, but that person can't be identified by the images, if they are even against their distribution.

Yeah, her spokesperson said this was a violation of her privacy, but she says they aren't real.
BS effect engaged.

I'm pretty sure she said they were fake because they were, but then more were released that are real.
Justice tweeted they were fake before the actual set was released. She was just commenting on some fakes that were already confirmed to be fakes that were mixed in with the real photos.
Hard to blame people lying to try and save face in a situation like this though.

If as is being suggested its not come from from photostreams but from icloud backups it's going to be apples problem. If people have deleted them from their photostreams i would think they'd have a reasonable expectation that they'd be gone.
Same goes for G+, dropbox etc. Tho google+ does give you a "delete everywhere" option and android doesn't do full system image backups like apple does.
I don't get it at all, but I'm not even remotely surprised. The tabloid press have spent the last thirty years doing exactly the same thing.

I'm surprised the internet didn't destroy itself in the process. Damn technology, you scary!
The whole point of backups is that if you accidentally lose something you have a way to recover it. If you mistakenly deleted a photo from your phone and it instantly also deleted it from your backup, that would defeat the whole point of having a backup.
From what I heard did also a disgruntled ex give him the password to a shared icloud account
Do you all slow down for car crashes? Geez.
I just wouldn't feel at all comfortable looking at an image of private nature, which the person would obviously not want me to be looking at. I know it is 'out there', but just on a personal level, I would feel absolutely awful breaching the privacy of someone like that.
There's a lot to be said about the porn industry, and this isn't really the thread to do it. But I think basic consent would be a nice thing to respect. If a person would clearly and obviously not want you to view images of a private nature, then I think the bare minimum you can do is respect that, and yes, I would feel really uncomfortable looking at any image of a personal nature which I know the person would not like me to see.

The photos auto-sync by default. Many people probably do not even know it is happening. Maybe they should be more aware, but maybe Apple should also make a more concerted effort to let people know.

I think the concept is pretty clear to all. And then people enable it for "convenience"
Apple / Unix security is easy to break. I remember in one of my Unix courses our classmate showed us how he wrote a script to get any unix password from any system's /etc folder, and the shadow copy for verification.
Same thing can happen there. Seems more celebrities prefer Apple.
Good point and makes me feel like a hypocrite.
Saying they're "fake" is only going to make certain types of people go to lengths to prove they are real. Then she looks silly for the denial.

You have the option to enable the cloud when you purchase a new phone/restore it.. I'm not sure the customers know exactly what's being backed up or how to properly delete the information. If you have the option to back up images enabled I think every photo you take gets sent to the cloud? So It gets a bit confusing.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of people panicking in Hollywood right now. I am surprised that the photos were dumped though as usually these things are kept strictly between traders. Only conclusion I can come up with is the original owner has a lot more stuff to sell and wanted to drive up the prices.
I agree, but it's
"UPDATE Photostreams SET Deleted = 'X' WHERE PhotoID = '????'"
People look at me weird when I'm using an actual camera and not some smartphone-bullshit-"camera"-with-builtin-upload-to-servers. Jokes on you.
Some of the shots are skanky as fuck. I can understand if it was just nudes but good lord.
I'm sure you would love to be posted over the web with cum on you.

It's a lost cause lol 70,000+ people were watching the reddit live thread.

....probably because Apple is unhackable.
I think the main point is now they're out there it's pointless trying to take them down. Sadly for these women the photos aren't going away now.

I think Mary E. Winstead says it well
" When I know how long ago it was, these pictures were deleted, then it is hard to imagine the scary effort someone has made to retrieve the pictures"
"For those of who are looking at pictures I have taken with my husband several years ago behind closed doors in our own home, I hope you feel good about yourself."
