Right. If you had a swimsuit malfunction on the beach in 1995, a few people got an eyeful of your unmentionables before you could grab a towel, someone might whistle or laugh, you'd blush, and then the world would move on and you'd forget about it. If the same thing happens in 2025, there's a decent chance your unmentionables will end up posted online for anyone to ogle in perpetuity. If you find out about it, it could really eat at you. I don't have a solution to it, or even know if there should be one. But I think it's undeniable that it's causing a fundamental shift in what "private" and "public" mean, in people's minds if not legally. We used to be more private in public than we are now.

Who cares, your body will degrade and ultimately decompose in few short decades. If people aren't decent enough to wait till you are dead and bother you over the footage of you they've seen, you should go after them, not the person who recorded the footage. They are the ones who cause you inconvenience.

  Young girls are killing themselves every day over something you're saying "who cares" about

    > Young girls are killing themselves every day over something you're saying "who cares" about ...I think this advances the point GP makes. We have allowed obsession over body image to take on religious proportions (falling off both ends of the spectrum, toward tiktok swimsuit edition on one end, and the burka on the other). Part of this obsession is the claim of ownership of every photon that bounces off one's skin until it is eventually captured by someone else's eye (biological or electronic). A healthy internet age is one in which we find comfort in our bodies, fitness in our habits, and security without needing to control every depiction of us.

    Go after the people who make young girls think it's something they should do in that situation.

      The people making them consider suicide are the people snapping creepy shots of them and posting it online. This isnt rocket science guys, why are we all acting stupid.

        Do other apes want to kill themselves when their photos with no clothes on are taken? If not then it's some kind of sick culture that makes humans think in this manner. Fix that. It will need to get fixed eventually because technology won't go back. It will go forward faster and faster. Even the richest man on earth's (one of them) solution to related problems is a tall hedge around his property that he gets fined for. There ain't no going back.

        Fix... The patriachy? You want me to fix the patriarchy? Again, let's stop playing stupid. And, while we're at it, let's stop suggesting "solutions" that we know we can't implement. There's a very simple solution we can do right now: don't take naked pictures of people.

        > Fix... The patriachy? You want me to fix the patriarchy? Sure. Also sexism, puritanism, security through obscurity and abrahamic religions while you are at it. It's long overdue. > There's a very simple solution we can do right now: don't take naked pictures of people. That's a very temporary solution since in a very near future everybody will have their pictures taken all the time and not necessarily in the wavelengths that stop at clothing for one simple reason, technology exists. Don't worry, you don't really have to fix anything. Just peacefully die and let the next generation grow up without your cultural burden. It's also a temporary solution but feasible for now since death is still a thing people do.
