but this does not give anyone the right to steal them or use them without that person's consent. Naked pic taking is a very human thing to do, and we should not be ashamed of our bodies, nor shame anyone who wants to take such pics of themselves or another consenting adult, although many people who take these pictures only intend to share them with certain people. I will not be viewing the ones that were stolen from accounts and distributed online. That is a violation of privacy, and obviously the people hacked did not intend them for wide distribution. I think our society needs to grow the f*ck up and stop blaming people for doing absolutely nothing wrong, based on some false sense of misguided "morality". The people who violated privacy and stole personal effects are the ones who should be ashamed. And that is my two cents.
