    Given the state of privacy we have and how companies treat security, I’d rather compare it to going shopping while leaving the door of your house wide open.

    He literally says “never take any selfies” in the comic. ‘Going shopping and leaving your door open’ doesn’t make any sense in this context. What if you take a selfie, and (safely, however that would be) give it to your partner.

    Five years later you break up and they post it online. How is that ‘leaving the door to your house open’ exactly?

    What about making an analog video with a partner, again you break up later, and it’s put online. Is that ‘leaving the door to your house open’?

    Or are you agreeing with the comic and saying women (or anyone really) should never ever take pictures/videos/etc of themselves naked/otherwise compromised, because the image/etc could go online?
