How is it not the same? People's privacy was violated. Because it had of hot popular women it is somehow not the same as other peoples privacy being violated? |

i try redd. i try.
those imgur links are getting taken down so fast.
redd is right about the torrent: http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/1094...on_-__fappening
basically what happened is there's some API to iCloud (why?) with no bruce force checker in place so i guess some nerds brute forced a bunch of apple IDs belonging to famous people and dumped their photos. you can sync whatever photo you take to iCloud i think by default it's on. i have my phone syncing to iCloud but I just delete whatever off it. |

for starters,
1. The government can imprison or kill you.
2. The right from unreasonable government searches is enshrined in the Constitution.
3. These aren't exactly private individuals. |

My god for the amount that people spout here, it still amazes me that the utter lack knowledge on a given subject is only matched by ignorant confidence on the matter.
First up, Nou is right, and Reddit is on the wrong side of the argument here.
Second, I actually know some of the people affected by this and it aint remotely funny or in the interest of free speech or internet freedom bull. Reddit may well end up paying big time for this one.
Lasty, it wasn't just just a security issue relating to an API for Icloud (and API's are needed so developers can have their apps or sites interface directly to icloud).
There's a group of people who have been sharing and helping each other with hacking various high profile people for several years now, main via deepweb as a lot of the stuff was obtained illegally. They were doing everything from brute force attacks to phishing, to even more basic things as exchanging pics from lost/stolen cell phones and in one case involved in this situation, it's believed that the pictures were copied by an employee when a damaged phone was exchanged for a new one.
Why they chose now to suddenly release it all is unknown but the theory is that someone outside of the group got the images and couldn't resist sharing.
I'd be ting it right now if I was one of those idiots right now. It's straight up theft and a bunch of other, way more nasty federal charges. Those hackers better hope they're worth more to the FBI on payroll. |

| The difference is that Spacey Orange is paranoid that the government might know that he's taking drugs, but he knows nobody wants to see him naked. |

It must be tiring to live that scared.

Yes, but not when you're breaking the law and the law has probably cause; case in point, reddit are actively facilitating the proliferation of stolen material.

Sure, because becoming famous for working as as actor or model instantly removes your right as "enshrined in the constitution" (fourth amendment) to be secure in your possessions?
That law cuts both ways - I know most republicans would have you believe it, but it wasn't just designed to protect you from the evils of government. It was from anyone seizing and searching your property.
If this isn't a case of that, then I don't know what is. |

I don't get it. This is pretty vile on behalf of the guilty individuals who worked to likely blackmail, extort, or otherwise peddle the time-insensitive reveals of some equally time-sensitive bodies...
And yes, of course Reddit is a bunch of ing stupid hypocrites. Who expected anything more from those kids?
But when we speak of constitutionality and the spirit of the law, the NSA episode is far, far more corrosive to the very bedrock of civil liberty; these are just inevitable free agents exercising their ability to be scumbags on the internet, not guardians of federal discretion who've been loosed in the henhouse. |

You pretty much got it. |

| Loosed in the henhouse? They were using legal means to try to protect the world from people like ISIS. They may have overstepped themselves slightly in their efforts to do so, and there are certainly a few examples of rogue employees doing bad things, but the NSA operations weren't purposefully malicious, like this "fappening." |
