If only life were that simple...that we could trust other people and know what they were going to do to us just by looking at them.
(Also that nobody could steal pictures from a bro's cellphone while he was asleep, etc., etc.)
Who exactly gets to determine when a disclosure of photographs is or is not allowed?
I think this law is addressing that issue.
And doing it correctly. I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Who cares?
Their future employers, etc.
Seriously, when did people become brain dead about stuff like this
It's called "puberty".
Or did nobody here not do stupid things when they were teenagers? Too busy playing video games...?
Back in those days, photos were taken on photographic film which had to be developed, and in 99.9% of cases by someone not taking the photo or in the photo. Therefore, someone else would see the nudey.
That's why Gentlemen Took Polaroids.
I'd like to see how he implemented his back-end. Did he rely upon tor's anonymity and get lazy in the private messaging system?
Tor won't help you much against an enemy that has many global taps into the Internet as the NSA has. They'll soon know exactly where messages originate and remove any "anonymity".
There's every reason to believe they can break the encryption, too.

We are an Incapsula customer and I can tell you we were NOT "completely unaffected".
Maybe you could call Sean Michael Kerner at eWeek and tell them Marc Gaffan was lying.
He's also on twitter: https://www.twitter.com/techjournalist
They don't name the site, they don't name the attacker, the customers were "completely unaffected"....they could be making it up for all we know.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what failing chemistry and geology class (and probably physics, too) looks like.
Take a peek in a mirror sometime.
Things in natural gas are "extracted" using distillation, helium among them.
Helium isn't "produced", it's "extracted".
"Produced" is when you make it. AFAIK we still haven't mastered alchemy.
Hmm, I suspect that the NSA isn't nearly as good as people are fearing, but how can we prove it?
We can't.
There was a time when the NSA was way ahead of civilians, eg. In the 1970s when they tweaked DES without telling anybody why - turns out they knew about differential cryptanalysis.
Since then the gap has closed. These days there's no reason to suppose they're much ahead of civilians (except in budget,getting people to sign pain-of-death NDAs, install "government approved" black boxes in telephone exchanges, drive around in black SUVs
I'd notice the fan noise...
Well perhaps the point isn't that any new algorithms are uncrackable
There's every reason to believe that they are. The NSA uses AES for its own encryption systems.
If there's a weakness it's in the implementations (are your numbers really random?) and/or compromised PCs that they're running on.
While I think that NIST related crypto algorithms are probably well compromised by the NSA
AES is one of the most independently studied/analyzed algorithms ever.
I suspect that there is probably not much of anything - certainly nothing on the open market - that the NSA would not already have cracked anyway.
Triple-DES?
It's later than you think, the joint Russian-American space mission has already begun.
