Attention celebrities, I accept some abominable news: Humans really wish to see you naked. So if you yield a photograph of yourself in the buff, someone's gonna acquisition it. So put down that cameraphone. Or don't!
By now, you've apparently heard that possibly 18-carat nude photographs of anyone who may or may not be Scarlett Johannson [NSFW, unless you're assuming this to and high-fiving with your boss] accept floated to the top of the Internet cesspool.
Name one accepting who is afraid by this about-face of events.
Me? Nope. You? I achievement not. Scarlett Johannson? Well, if those photos are genuine, she'd bigger not be. There are assorted fan-sites committed to animating her beauty. This is what we alarm demand. If it exists in abundant quantity, something alleged "supply" has a top likelihood of appearance its nipple-and-ass-filled, down-covered cellphone-snapped head. Especially these days. Here's why:
So, there's this added thing. Alleged the Internet. And it's fucking powerful. I was alive at WIRED during Chris Anderson's acclaimed appropriation scandal, and even afterwards Anderson endemic up for what concluded up accepting a mistake, trolls beyond the Internet started digging up all sorts of clay on him. We were talking one day and something he said there absolutely ashore with me: "If you accomplish a individual atom of notoriety, and you accept even a individual skeleton in your closet, the Internet hive-mind will acquisition it." Truth.
Well, if you're a above celebrity, that's notoriety; and a agenda photograph (or video) of yourself is like a behemothic skeleton afraid your closet doors and complaining TMZ at all hours. Especially if it's a cellphone photo. Anticipate of how abounding humans accept admission to your cellphone in a accustomed day: co-workers, acquaintances, tech abutment people, etc.
And if you anticipate your photos are safe on your home computer, accede this book you ability accept afresh accurate to a friend-of-a-friend you hardly know: "The bathroom? It's down the anteroom to the right." Congratulations: You've just let a drifter loose, unsupervised, in your apartment/hotel suite. Bigger achievement your laptop isn't dabbling abreast the crapper.
And this doesn't even calculation austere hacking. Fact: Celebrities' email accounts get hacked. Hell, celebrities' email accounts are targeted by hackers. So if annoying about the aegis of your fat celebrity coffer annual isn't enough, please, by all agency email your admirer of the moment some photos of that absolute body. KTHXBAI.
Of course, not every leaked photo or sex band is an blow (*cough* Kim Kardashian *cough*). And in some cases, some civil pr0n is fabricated afore a celeb is a celeb (bum luck, Hoopz [NSFW]). But those cases are the exceptions rather than the rules. Or maybe not! Maybe authoritative a sex band is bigger for your ailing career than accepting a role in a Tarantino flick 10 years afterwards your prime has passed.
But I'm just saying: If you yield a photo of something millions of humans wish to see, there is no way you can accumulate it from accepting seen. Not anymore.
