I agree. I was meaning strictly from a legal standpoint. People should also expect that they can face prosecution/fines for purposely spreading intimate pictures publicly.
And the problem is “purposely”. Most people run Windows, which SHIPS buggy and insecure. And is easily subverted, much less people being social engineered via email, and the computer zombified and under effective control of someone at an unknown remote location.
And there’s more than enough de-facto spyware even in common apps. . . I’ve had to remove, for example, the DropBox application, simply because it tried to slurp every file on any removable media I attach to the home box. . . .
