Full Episode
Okay, right off the bat, I want to give a content warning. We're going to get into some sexually explicit stuff in this episode. We're going to talk about nudity, and there's going to be some swearing. So this episode is for mature listeners. You've been warned. Oh, and by the way, I give these warnings because a lot of you tell me you listen with your little kids, which I think is amazing.
Hi, kids. But sorry, kids. Okay, so have you ever had your nude photos leaked online? Yeah, you probably have. You just might not know it because some insane stuff is going on out there. Let me explain. First, law enforcement has access to some pretty crazy tools, databases that scrape the Internet and then store a whole bunch of information on a person.
I guess it's used to help conduct investigations so they can quickly and easily get a whole bunch of information on a person. They can get your marital status, your address, your job, salary, kind of car, flight records, social media accounts, and of course, photos of you. Well, some cops have been caught abusing this tool. One cop was caught looking for dates on Tinder, which is fine.
Cops can look for dates on Tinder. But the thing that he was doing was he was looking up his matches in this police database. Another cop was using the database to stalk some woman he was into. And another cop, Brian, he tried to see if he could use the tool to find nude photos of women on it. He used his access to gain a bunch of information on women.
And then he worked with a hacker to break into the women's accounts and find nude photos of them. Yeah, a cop was abusing his power to steal nude photos of women and then was trying to extort them with the images he found. He went to prison for that. But that story doesn't even matter if a cop did it.
The idea that a hacker can break into your account and steal private photos off your phone is a big problem. I've read countless stories of guys planting cameras in places they shouldn't be, like women's bathrooms or changing rooms. And with cameras getting smaller and harder to notice, this problem persists. But actually, a lot of you just put surveillance cameras right up in your homes yourself.
ADT, for example, is a security company that allows you to put cameras inside your home to keep watch over your safety. But guess what? There was an ADT employee who was caught abusing his access and was spying on women and people having sex in their homes, taking screenshots of them and stuff. Oh, and let's not forget about love int.
This is a term used for when intelligence officials use their spying power to spy on love interests. There's been some reported cases that people in the NSA have used their access to the national surveillance infrastructure to check if a spouse is cheating or to keep a closer eye on someone they're interested in.
So this is case after case of how your nude photos could be leaked without you doing anything wrong. Just think about all this next time you see a camera, which you probably see a camera like a million times a day. With all our connected and smart devices, we're not the only ones who can control them. And the people who do have access to your camera can and will abuse that access.
