Hard to say what you noticed, but it wasn't hypocrisy kcr Sep 2014 #10

That wasn't my point at all leftstreet Sep 2014 #18

Because get this? It isn't the same thing. kcr Sep 2014 #19

Um, Weiner was tweeting it to random people... JaneyVee Sep 2014 #31

And didn't Wiener tweet it to a minor? n/t sweetloukillbot Sep 2014 #55

He sent them unsolicited to random women. If he'd sent them to his wife, no one would care. nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #57

That wasn't done by a hacker, was it? pnwmom Sep 2014 #8

He always claimed it was, but who knows leftstreet Sep 2014 #13

no. he initially claimed that them admitted he lied. that's why he resigned, ffs PeaceNikki Sep 2014 #14

A better analogy is Brett Favre AngryAmish Sep 2014 #24

Ah yes leftstreet Sep 2014 #30

Key fact is "he sent". He was not hacked and his pic was not stolen. n/t cui bono Sep 2014 #33

Weiner was not hacked either AngryAmish Sep 2014 #36

Yes, Weiner was not hacked either. cui bono Sep 2014 #38

little background on Favre gawker dick pics AngryAmish Sep 2014 #43

Disagree. Lawrence had the pics stored on a drive/server which got hacked. cui bono Sep 2014 #46

How do you know that? AngryAmish Sep 2014 #49

That's the story. Hacker released nude pics of celebrities. cui bono Sep 2014 #53

I am pointing out the gender imbalance and the gendered tropes AngryAmish Sep 2014 #56

But you are missing the mark. Two COMPLETELY different scenarios. cui bono Sep 2014 #58

I think I see where we are talking past each other AngryAmish Sep 2014 #59

That is my understanding of it. That someone hacked into icloud and grabbed the pics cui bono Sep 2014 #62

He sent the picture. NuclearDem Sep 2014 #42

It is possible to condemn the crime while still encouraging common sense re: the cloud. Warren DeMontague Sep 2014 #3

And raising awareness of the possible prison sentence might deter some idiotic hackers. pnwmom Sep 2014 #17

I'd agree with that, too. Warren DeMontague Sep 2014 #21

Sentencing a hacker is good, should have gotten more time. Thinkingabout Sep 2014 #6

He stole extremely valuable property AngryAmish Sep 2014 #25

Once a thief, always a thief. Thinkingabout Sep 2014 #29

My first thought went further. kentauros Sep 2014 #45

I agree, like a pedophile, you sure would not give them a job in schools. Thinkingabout Sep 2014 #47

One can condemn both the hacker and the judgement behind putting nudes on the internet LittleBlue Sep 2014 #16

She didn't deliberately put the photos on the internet. pnwmom Sep 2014 #20

That's my point. Many people use their phone as their primary camera. Warren DeMontague Sep 2014 #22

I think for years, apple has gone for making things seamlessly convenient for users Warren DeMontague Sep 2014 #27

I agree. It shouldn't be the default. n/t pnwmom Sep 2014 #37

Apple users on twitter say it's an option on the phone LittleBlue Sep 2014 #23

I dont know if everyone understands that, actually. Warren DeMontague Sep 2014 #28

No, even in 2014, not everyone understands the risk. Trumad made an OP about how pnwmom Sep 2014 #35
