Just taking nudes is not really your fault. If you know how to safely store them.
You get fault Points for:
- storing them unencrypted
- storing them in unsafe places (online, in a publicly-available Folder on your Computer)
- sending them to other people
- sending them via unencrypted means
- sending them via a avenue that makes backups
The Reason we recommend not taking nudes isn't because it is your fault if you do, it's because we know most people are tech-illiterate and don't know how to safely handle dangerous/compromising Material.
The first point in the comic is certainly valid, giving the technical literacy of many people.
If you're taking nudes for yourself and not to share... I think you're in an extreme minority. People take nudes to share. And:
- People suck. That person you're in love with now might UN's to being the person who burns your clothes when you break up with them.
- Information wants to be free. This is what a lot of your points touch on, but the fact is, several companies have access to your data, and making digital copies is so trivial it's often automatic.
- Digital information is forever. Because of (2), once you take a nude, it's harder to get rid of it than preserve it.
- If you share it once, it's not utterly out of your control. It might be out of the control of the person you share it with; at the very least, if you text it, some techs at your service provider are going to make copies. For gods sake, use E2E chat, people. Another point you raised about digital hygiene.
Yeah, the first panel is entirely justified. It's like whining about how you shouldn't have to lock your car doors when you park downtown.
I agree so I upvote, I'm just wondering what "UN's" is supposed to be in point 1? It's obviously bad autocorrect but I can't figure out what it should be
No.
Yeah "no" exactly... no to sharing with people who are technology illiterate, have no ethics or loyalty to keep personal information confidential. As a guy who loves to receive nudes, it's not worth it for most women honestly.
This stuff depends on context.
If it's the first time someone is told this, sure. If someone is asking not to be constantly harassed for having done this once, then that person is right. Once they've been told once, it's plenty if education is the goal. If the person knows to tell you not to tell them that, they've been told once. If someone is asking that the guy who leaked the nudes be acted against, then that person is right. If someone is excusing shitting behavior because the victim should have protected themselves better, they are blaming the victim, shame on them.
Holy victim shaming Batman.
Yeah, it's all good advice but labelling it "fault points" is
kindavery insensitive and ignores that people spreading the nudes are in the wrong.There are ways to inform people how to protect themselves without blaming them
How is labeling fault points fault points victim blaming you do realize when people talk about how something fails they typically use the term fault points to refer points where something was faulty like a worn tire being the reason a car crashed
The phrasing was "you get fault points for" which strongly suggests assigning fault rather than listing out "points at fault".
Also I think the term would be "points of failure" for the way you read it. At least that's howbive heard it used and used it myself.
You worded that so much better than me
Okay how bout you continue doing it YOUR fucking way then
When we talk about cybersecurity or theft in general, it's always your fault if you leave the door unlocked.
