I think society has actually gotten better at this. A strategically leaked sex tape is already an acceptable career move for celebrities, and I don’t think many people would necessary care about it in politics, either.
I don't care about the elites, I care about people who are not well known who get exposed due to this technology, or who's endangered because their stalker who happened on their nude stolen photos can now track them in real time.
Celebrities and politicians have money and power to ensure they recover from this event, your sister or wife doesn't.
I think it's often more about hypocrisy than it is about the act/actions. It seems to, at least from my pov, work out worst for conservative/republican politicians than left leaning ones. Of course when you get bad actors on the left, this also means things are overlooked or forgiven that really shouldn't be.
