This got me to thinking. If I sent you a .jpg file and told you it was me naked when I was 15, you would not know if it really was unless you looked at it. This means that the Feds have to actually break the law and distribute/look at child porn to prove that it is child porn.

Genius, and that doesn't even touch on the thousands of DEA agents that possess and distribute illicit drugs on a regular basis.

I removed all the Alkemyst thread derailing junk and that of those of you who egg him on and then complain.

Ummm... They just deleted his posts and probably gave him an infraction.

His posts weren't ban worthy so what else do you want done?

yeah, because he doesn't have a history of doing this or anything. and he won't do it again or anything.

right...

What's so confusing?

You want him banned everytime he argues with someone?
Well you know the saying? It takes two...

Does everyone else get banned as well?

Here's a better suggestion.
How about putting him on ignore if he annoys you that much? Or do you actually really enjoy the whole thing?

I for one am usually entertained by him and compared to many others he is relatively sane. Not saying he shouldn't get a vacation for some things but who among us hasn't been at least warned a time or two,

Anywho...personally I don't see a problem with putting pictures online and sharing them. Obviously it's up to the user to be sure they are behind secure doors.

For most of the celebrities that got leaked, it's really a non-event for them. A little embarrassing, but life goes on. For some it touched a little closer to the heart and I can understand that.

I like how the dude that fanned the flames is now proclaiming the media is infringing on his privacy. the ironing is delicious.

http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/8/6121039/reddit-user-celeb-leaks-privacy

There was a sense of irony when the strongly anti-NSA, pro-privacy users of the social network Reddit began gloating over the privacy-destroying leak of celebrity nude photos. Privacy, it seemed, only applied to Reddit users — for celebrities, no such luck. But now there's a starker example of the double standard: the Reddit user responsible for bringing the hacked photos into the public eye has decried an invasion of his privacy by the media.

Reddit user "Johnsmcjohn" started TheFappening, a (now closed) forum that became the go-to repository for viewing photos leaked from celebrities' phones. Although it doesn't appear he took part directly in the hack, he did perhaps do more than any single person to make the photos widely available. And as part of an "Ask Me Anything" Q&A on Reddit, he complained that a Washington Post story profiling (but not directly naming) him contained unnecessary personal information. "Why is my being on an asexuality website or an Aspergers board relevant to my work on /r/TheFappening?" he wrote. "I decided Thursday that I wouldn't delete my account and if the press wants to send me thru the ringer, so be it. I won't be bullied into silence."

Johnsmcjohn, an active user of Reddit's cocaine forum who the Post noted had difficulty paying bills, also had this to say: "I don't like it, but so be it. The Nixon Administration couldn't stop the WP, so I didn't try to stop them. Also, I paid my gas bill in case anyone cares."

Meh, why bother. She's done so much in the past year from wrecking ball to twerking, and she's worth an estimated $150 million according to Google.

Hilary's been out of action for years, settled down. Before she married, Google says she was worth $25 million -- ex-hubby's family is loaded though...
Who's the ex-hubby? Liam?

I haven't been keeping track.

Is the fappening still happening or has it finally rubbed out?
