Victim blaming.

Well, it's like going through a bad neighborhood in your expensive car to show off your new expensive watch. Not your fault you got robbed, but there may have been a way to avoid it.

As a citizen, it is reasonable to expect from government to provide you the ability to drive through any part of the country without risking getting robbed.

If the government does not meet that expectation, it is time to hold politicians (and, where applicable, the police administration) accountable by voting them out.

Victim blaming.

Indeed, I don't care much for the tone of the previous post at all. That said, I do think it would be wise to have a good think about what would happen if these photos were distributed – either maliciously or accidentally – and if you're prepared to take this risk. Unfortunately too many people somewhat naïvely don't think about this.

Trying to avoid victim blaming.

"wise to have a good think" is a good discussion to have BEFORE and for LATER.

AFTER, it is simply victim shaming.

"wise to have a good think" is something we do for ourselves.

Hacking a person's phone is a violation that one person perpetrates upon another.

The first is a personal mental activity. The second is a physical crime.

The first is irrelevant now. Now, something real happened. Reality always takes precedence.

That said, how many times did she get her phone hacked and have her photos leaked?

Tricky thing, that...when do we switch to "having been a victim, it's time to have a good think."?

From the article, "she said. “I am losing my mind. I think this is the same person that hacked me before and nothing is being done. I can’t take this anymore.”"

Hmmm........

How about stop putting nude and intimate photos on your phone? Just don’t take them, period. It doesn’t matter if you are a celebrity or not, if the photos exist then someday/somehow they are going to get out and once they do you will never be able to pull them back. You might not even have a chance to try if you end up in jail. Even if you live in a country that doesn’t care, one day you might accidentally transport…

Looking past the moral question of whether people should police their own private behaviour like this, there are reasons you might need to take a nude/intimate photo. If you're ill, if you've found a lump, etc., and you can't get a face-to-face appointment with a doctor, taking a photo is probably the best way to illustrate what's wrong.

Sorry, what am I missing? 1. its illegal to produce pornographic material in Uganda* 2. she produced pornographic material (of herself) 3. it came to light (its always a risk) 4. she has been charged. If you play silly games… * I don't think it should be, but that's their law.

So you believe it's irrelevant and should not be discussed?

No more than a) barman sells beer to 20 year sold in USA (1), b) someone leaks a photo of it, c) the authorities find out, d) the twit gets charged.

Hence my question: "What am I missing?"

It fits a pretty simple pattern: "someone broke a local law, it leaked, got punished".

(1) although legal elsewhere

Education is key here - we the tech-savvy, need to make more of an effort to educate those less so, on how to remove files from their devices that could prove compromising in the future. Naturally, I understand that what I've just said isn't the whole answer, but I really do think it's a good place to start.

No, the problem is victim blaming and criminalizing nudity.

A similar situation happened in the United States. https://apnews.com/article/courts-illinois-archive-5872ff80b...

Why this comment? Zero relation whatsoever, in one case the one publishing another's nudes was punished, in the other the victim.

I think the issue is that the law is unjust and shouldn’t exist.
