Privacy Caught Pants Down
Six Pixels of Separation recently wrote The Naked Truth – and with it some very interesting stats about the readiness of us youngsters to get our gear off. I’m a digital native, in the younger gen-y bracket, but I say: technology is no excuse for irresponsibility. Nor do I think this is (as the article went to put it) a (what we consider) privacy issue. Still, interesting read never the less.
I’ll never stop anyone taking a nude photo of themselves or their partner — but don’t expect them to keep it to themselves — whether knowingly or unknowingly (human error has left many ‘private’ photos in full view of work colleagues). Sure, your partner or lover might keep a promise but some (many?) technologies are as quick to keep those promises.
Nor are your friends next time they borrow your phone and find themselves in your gallery.
