Hm... I curiously checked my phone, deleted images/videos are still deleted and haven't resurfaced. Then again I don't mix technology with nudity. /shrug
There are tons of reasons to take nude photos... you often have to send in nude photos for the beginning stages of surgery consultations.
And sexting is fun.
This comment comes across insanely judgemental of the individual, when the issue is that Apple deleting data and thus violating privacy.
It's not just nudes, though. This could happen for any deleted picture. I'm not really expecting them to zero out the file system block or anything, but this implies they're not even doing file system level deletion.
i'm almost certain this is more of a cloud bug than anything. Fucking up the incredibly basic process of "hey this shit isn't real, don't look here for anything" is hilarious.
There shouldnt be a fucking excuse. Did you accidentally roll back an fs journal? No, good, because that's how you get dataloss
Yeah.. I think I'd rather do that in person than to video record or take images of myself nude. Privacy and security is a pretty big deal to me. Hence, I don't mix technology with nudity.
You've never been in a long distance relationship? And as I said, some people need to take nudes for medical reasons. It's not a hypothetical situation, I know multiple people who have done this.
It's fine that you have your own personal philosophy for taking nudes, but your post is coming off as judgemental of those who do.
It's not the individual's fault, it's Apple's fault for being unclear about what the delete feature is actually doing.
Hm.. I never felt a need to expose myself (using tech) to another person to feel validated or to get their (or my) rocks off or for any other reason, honestly. I'm not trying be morally superior, I'm just saying I don't expose myself with technology as a medium. In fact, I've never posted a photo of myself on any social media. I take privacy and security seriously.
Plus look at the consequences of exposing yourself to others through tech... blackmail, image-based abuse/exploitation, revenge p*rn etc..
My initial comment was simply stating that Apple's latest update hasn't undeleted any of my photos/videos in general but that then again I don't have any nude images/videos on my iphone/iCloud storage if the claim is that nude images/videos exclusively are getting undeleted.
Ah okay. I didn't interpret this as only nudes being undeleted, so I was reading your comment in that light. Understandable.
I just want to appreciate an argument where both user names check out, considering the stances taken by the "whore" and the "square" per the names.
🔥🔥 YES
You don’t mix technology and YOUR nudity 😉
haha..
I love mixing technology with nudity. But I have also avoided this problem because I don't mix technology and Apple.
So you use a de-googled android?
I think mixing tech and nudity is awesome! I love getting dickpics!
Did you think some else's nudes might have resurfaced there...?
No they're just feeling morally superior for no good reason.
As a rule, files never get deleted... They get over written. So it depends on whether that process has happened to any loose images.
