Well, I mean, some leak things out on purpose, but uploading homemade porn to iCloud is just plain stupid. People don't seem to learn, obviously, but to their support - they don't have to as mobile platforms should be built around privacy. Automatic uploads are nice... until things go wrong. I think out of the box all platforms should allow tagging photos and videos as "private", i.e. not exposing them to sync services, etc. I mean, people do these things and wise platforms are built around real-life scenarios, right? If there's "private browsing" out of the box, why isn't there "private photo/video taking" as well? I think browsing porn sites is much less of an issue than taking private footage and it getting sync to your family iMac, etc. So, I will be happy if all these celebs sue Apple as otherwise they won't improve their OS. This will give Google a signal to improve Android as well.

Your initial comment made it seem like the 'act of taking nude pictures' was the issue (can't find a better word).
