Chapters
A Dallas woman is fighting to clear her name on the internet. As reported in the Dallas Morning News Monday, the woman says a spurned ex posted naked photos of her. Now they're the first thing to come up when you search her name. Even though a judge told her ex to take the photos down, they're still there. She didn't know he'd taken the photos, but cybersecurity experts say stories like hers are becoming more and more common because more people are trading racy photos without a thought about where they might end up.
You know, when you are sharing skate photos, keeping in mind that half of relationships fail. You may be sharing a sex with somebody who may not like you in a year.
McAfee's annual survey showed nearly 70% of American adults admit to having sexted at some point. It's led to the emergence of revenge porn websites like myex.com, where people can post naked photos to get back at an ex. Once they're posted, there's very little you can do to get them taken down.
Digital is forever, that this stuff doesn't go away, that once it's shared, it can be repeated is copied and pasted and so forth. Uh, and going forward, keeping that in mind may keep you out of hot water.
An important lesson to come out of an unfortunate situation.
