If you give someone something, you can’t really control what they do with it and if you don’t want them to have that power or don’t trust them not to abuse it you probably shouldn’t give that to them in the first place, as a general principle. This applies equally to a woman’s nudes, a guy’s nudes, your house keys, etc.
And I’d keep anything even vaguely sensitive info-wise protected by a strong password as a minimum as an at least mild deterrent for internet weirdos that you aren’t actually giving the thing to. Because you can go after said weirdos, but you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.
And I love unisex rules that apply almost exclusively to women!
…only because no one has any empathy for a guy whose pics get used in ways he doesn’t want. Basically it’s not that the rule isn’t really unisex, but that people only care when the possible bad result happens to a woman (or some flavor of non-cis person).
Hell, there are Facebook groups that in a practical sense mostly function to let women who are unhappy drag on their exes and try to ruin potential future relationships for them, couched in claims that they exist to protect women from predators. Including occasionally passing around nudes of the dudes in question, if they think it’ll get mocked. Those are unlikely to be going anywhere, and any serious attempt to remove them will get reported on as creepy dudes on the internet trying to harass women into no longer being able to protect themselves from creepy dudes on the internet.
You’re right.
Nobody should own things because security is not good enough.
It’s exactly like saying something as dumb as that.
