WHAT THE FAPPENING?

Honestly, have you seen the video and the extensive photo series of the quite naked Laura Ponticorvo? I have, and I found all those ‘shots’ quite, uh, how do you say that nicely, detailed. Actually, I want to ignore this kind of photos, but I'm always just a bit too curious to put that into practice. When the oooh’s and aaah’s are flying around, I get FOMA (fear of missing anything). Yes, also with you, Patries, and now with Carice... But when I clicked on that last one, I immediately had terrible, grand regrets. Not that I found those of Patries and Laura exciting, but this felt even more like pure violation of privacy.

Carice van Houten was already afraid of this and it turns out to be not unjustified. The overly sexualized hackers of The Fappening 2.0, as even De Telegraaf calls them, got hold of pictures of a pregnant Carice. Stunningly beautiful by the way, nothing to be ashamed of, but very much private and you can see that immediately, it oozes from it. Why, guys?

‘You see Carice in Game of Thrones and that leaves nothing to the imagination’

And I say guys, because I can't imagine a woman hacking Carice's iCloud to sling these intimate photos onto the world wide web (even though I clicked, for which I apologize again). Just take a subscription on HBO and you see Carice in full Game of Thrones glory and that leaves NOTHING to the imagination. Costs nothing and she's okay with it. And that last part is what it's all about. Just keep those grabby little fingers off this material not meant for others' eyes. Carice is the latest in the line of famous women who become victims of hackers by the way. I mention our favorite Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence, and a Miley Cyrus. Even I had no idea that sensitive material had been made public in all three cases; it turns out my sleaze radar is unfortunately still missing a lot.

No matter what Apple, Microsoft, or Google say, NEVER store explicit images in the cloud again if you think you are known or if you want to be when you grow up. You know what? Just don't do it at all anymore. It can't be done, your privacy is not sacred. You can easily adjust it in your settings. Keep your body nice on your memory card. And then I solemnly promise you that I will ignore future links with dubious content about naked celebrities. Because with those clicks, you give them an excuse to do it again and I don't want that. So don't go secretly googling now.
