When the image of a famous nude filter, instant scours the Internet like wildfire. Thousands of people share, the hanging hundreds of pages. Some people, after learning of its existence, the search and who meets her just to open Twitter. You can not delete. There is no room for reaction. At the moment there is already too late. Sometimes the culprit is, but who cares? Evil will already be done. Millions of people have violated the privacy of the star of the picture.
But that's just on a technical level. In more abstract levels, each new photo is the establishment of a new cyber ritual. The audience listens to the infamous robbery, assimilates it as part of the genre that have similar news coming out lately, and move on. Some add to the public circus shocked and others to private race to find the images. None of these options is as serious as the normalization of such violations of privacy. Behind it's the objectification of artists and confirmation that the world of nudes, women are less protected. It will, in short, a world a little worse.
It is not a problem only of celebrities, but of principles. In a world that has given control what happens on their devices, the "Just being an actor and making movies does not mean you're not entitled to have your own privacy," Scarlett Johansson will soon be: "Just being surfer and take pictures does not mean you do not have your own right to privacy "
The case has become known today was spectacular. A hacker has accessed a hundred mobile phones of celebrities due to a fault in the system of iCloud. On Sunday afternoon, the hacker hung dozens of private photographs at the 4chan forum twenty famous, among others, actresses Jennifer Lawrence and Kirsten Dunst and singer Ariana Grande.
The star of The Hunger Games is probably the most affected by the leak because their images are coveted for years, have been the most shared and discussed. The hacker said that has an explicit video and images about 60 phone interpreter who has not yet published. The thief also released a list with the names of the famous hit, all women. Among them: Kim Kardashian, Rihanna Kaley Cuoco or the female lead of Big Bang.
Lawrence representatives have confirmed the authenticity of images. "This is a flagrant violation of privacy" have qualified to website BuzzFeed. "We have contacted the authorities and will prosecute anyone who crash stolen photos". However, a spokesman for Ariana Grande said that your pictures are "completely false." Actress Mary E. Winstead (Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter) admitted on Twitter that the images they published it had erased the while. "To those of you who are looking at the photos I took with my husband for years in the privacy of my home, I expect you to feel great with yourself," he tweeted.
Normalization of such violations of privacy hides the objectification of artists and confirmation of that in the world of stripping handsome, the women are less protected. Hide ultimately a world a little worse
But guilt, or force others to feel guilty, has never solved anything. There is no question of banning the viewing of photos, or impose or censure any conduct in not responsible public theft. It is a matter of understanding at least the world being born with every click and every filtration. In 2012 the hacker Christopher Chaney was sentenced to 10 years in prison for leaking private pictures of Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis, among others. At that time the issue was verging gossip in the scandal. Now, it's a story; a step along the way. It will be this filtration can be inferred when the following occurs. These photos, and the end of the day, sold and market forces dictate that we must go further to collect more.
It is not a problem only of celebrities. It is a matter of principle. In the 2012 incident, Johansson proclaimed: "Just being an actor and making movies does not mean you're not entitled to have your own privacy." But in a world that already sensed how far the NSA spying, which has already been handled by Facebook, and has already ceded control of what happens on their devices, the adage will soon be: "Just being surfer and take pictures does not mean you're not entitled to have your own privacy. "
At the same time that yesterday Real Madrid stumbled in Anoeta, the most seasoned tweeters warned that on 4Chan promised a historic afternoon: from the savage forum / b /, where perversions and oddities that you would never believe are raised, they were hacked filtering images of Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Dunst and Kate Upton, all in swimsuit, topless and positions for over 18 years.
Anonymous who allegedly leaked pics bitcoins requested change and to encourage the congregation announced it had between 200 and 300 images of naked celebrities. It was not hard to convince, but as a decoy, another published a list with the names of all of them: Lawrence, Ariana Grande, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Olivia Munn, Brie Larson Kaley Cuocu, Mary-Kate Olsen, Rihanna ... And so began filter depending on demand and, supposedly, was receiving bitcoins in his still anonymous account.
The viral chain expanded through the transmission belt Imgur and Reddit jumped there. And as it grew dim in 4Chan threads in the photos are posteaban, users of those two pages to it that the images are not lost. Similarly, in Forocoches boots were placed replicating each of the leaks and eight in the afternoon outcry was such that the thread on Twitter about this shocking incident exploded, an hour later a user said to be of TMZ appeared in the forum trying to buy images from one crowdfunding platform was proposed for these images were leaked only 4Chan. Needless to say that the initiative was an immediate success and met hacker minutes asking $ 50,000.
The issue, however, was not settled there. While most committed Reddit images, many lamented a site which condemns the NSA spying turn a blind eye to robadas- photographs, images 4Chan Lawrence appeared as God brought the world were eliminated. And the first statements: Victoria Justice denied from his Twitter account that she was the star of those images, but Mary Elizabeth Winstead did acknowledge that the photos were not his alone, but that was removed from your device long ago. After dinner, the celebgate climaxed when he fell for a time to become 4Chan Jennifer Lawrence, very reluctantly, global trending topic, and this morning the images stolen headlined the daily average world. At the end of these lines, the celebgate 4Chan thread is still alive and is now more than 5.6 million comments.
