43. Why would anyone post nude pictures online?

Wed Nov 22, 2017, 07:17 PM

Nov 2017

The hackers were bad. No question about it.

But the material was out there. Why would women make these personal pictures available in cyberspace? We've heard time and again that the internet is permanent. If you post it, you have to own it.

Regardless of all of this, I believe we live in a dangerously restrictive society that denies far too much about human sexuality.
