The perils of technology - putting stuff on the internet you later regret

[Tawdy]

Had your friends conducted themselves in accordence with the Roman catholic churches teaching ie "no sex before marriage" the problem would never have arisen.

What makes you think that they are roman catholics? What makes you think they are not married? I`ll even bet you think they are a man and a woman.

Well the problem with porn and the likes of this phone sex video is that what is meant to be an expression of personal love is plastered all over the publicly accessible media for the prurient voyeurism and slabbering titillation of third parties.

Gets you horney then ?

If everyone filmed themselves having sex and shared it online then it would be far less scandalous when the odd person or two is identified.

People need to lighten up, I personally do not give a (filmed) toss what consenting adults do for kicks as long as it's within the law. Your friend needs to remember to lock his phone like anyone with a brain would do.

My father worked for ComReg until his retirement several years ago. He told me they had an American security advisor over once giving lectures and teaching employees how to use new softwares. Over coffee in conversation my father says the fella told him "don't put anything on a phone or computer that you are not prepared to say too someone face to face". Once it goes WWW its spider cached by google servers and numerous other search engines world wide forever.

It is very good advice, I think.

People need to realise that by accessing the internet and posting pictures/words there is a two way street. And whatever is written or posted remains there and is open to scrutiny.

In respect of the OP and the clips about a couple having sex and the images being loaded on to the net, these people were stupid to film themselves. They compounded their stupidity by leaving the images on a phone.
What is unforgivable is that a third party decided to load those images on to the internet.
Was it an act of revenge for something?

Generally I despair at the generation who need to upload their lives to social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
This need to do so I put down to narcissism.

Needless to say I've never joined any social media sites.

Third parties who seek it out

They are encouraged to seek it out because its been placed there by idiots like poster Tommy OBriens imbecilic friends and people with a vested interest in exploiting sex for financial gain.

In the very near future, you will be able to find all of an individuals online photos and videos via facial recognition search engines.
