#25Icloud hacking was mentioned and everyone has jumped on it. Many cell transmissions are unencrypted. MITM attacks should not be thrown out as a possibility. Malware is also a vector, including apps.

Yeah, how about the first time? I mean, I do not buy apps all the time, maybe once a week. And I'd have my battery dead or something like that in between those attempts.
So, I never had a chance to just hold my thumb on the home button and go my way.

Are we still unable to move past this pedantic hosting-vs-linking nitpicking? It's like you willfully ignore how content discovery works on the Internet.

Because those photos are not stolen and they own the copyright.
