There people out there who think that those who shared, viewed, upvoted, whatever should be tried as rapists and/or sexual offenders and signed up on a publicly available list. Much like you find for child predators actually.

Just because the pictures were "leaked" doesn't mean you're contributing to any kind of abuse, especially what The Guardian calls (seriously) "psychic abuse". So by this token, for viewing and "sharing" the leaked photos, one (according to The Guardian) should be labeled as a sexual predator and added to a sexual offender list. This sounds awfully like guilt by association. What kind of shit is that?

Note: I think The Guardian is rubbish because they think viewing images of 18+ adults is a sex crime. (See below)

    Trying to punish those that posted, or shared, or upvoted, or liked, the images would likely do more harm than good.

EDIT: mk sorry about the ghost ping.

EDIT: English hurr durr does it work?
