Just like how ignorance doesn't excuse people from breaking the law, ignorance of how computers (smartphones are computers) and the internet work should not excuse the people who had their nudes leaked from blame.

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s when I first got into the internet experience, the first thing I learned was that the internet was a public place and that publication of any personal information was a cardinal sin and taboo. Even my feeble 12-year old mind could understand the concept of keeping your personal information private. A/S/L? Anyone who asked that was a creepy predator, and anyone who seriously answered that was either naive or very stupid.

Nowadays with the advent of MySpace (RIP), Facebook, and Twitter, it's become commonplace for everyone and their dog to publically publish their personal information without any second thought. Whether that be something as relatively mundane as your name, to something as personal as wedding reception photos, or in this particular case even nudes.

It boggles my mind how things changed so drastically for the worse in such a short span of time. We were going about educating people, both young and old, about the dangers of publishing personal information during the haydays of the internet. And yet ultimately, people apparently don't give two craps about their personal privacy until JLaw's boobs are shown. It boggles my mind and it is almost rage-inducing at just how stupid people are.
