How many nude selfies do you have on your smart phone?

[numbnuts]

Looks like no one is a dare to bare

There is no such thing as "the Cloud". Sorry to disillusion you. There are various computers connected to the internet which are managed by various entities and which provide various services with various guarantees of who they will and won't share your use of that service with, and various levels of competence/rigour in how effective they are in performing on that guarantee. You seem to be drawing a line between a secure(sic) storage facility run by Apple and another secure storage facility run by some managed IT services company on behalf of your employer then declaring everything one one side of that line ipso facto dangerous and the other side to be OK.

Every time you type your credit card details into Amazon to buy a book from them you're uploading personal data to the "Cloud".

Not quite the same, VPN is just tunnelling through the internet not uploading to the internet.

What's at the other end of your VPN?

 

[BSRU]

What's at the other end of your VPN?

A corporate intranet.

 

[Dan B]

Data in the VPN is not uploaded or stored on a service accessible by the internet.

You've slightly missed my point, which wasn't at all about VPNs and was entirely about the services accessible from those VPNs or through other mechanisms

Your employer probably claims not to share the (file) data you upload to their file servers except with your colleagues
iCloud claims not to share your (photo) data except with the people you tell it to
Gmail claim not to share your email except with the people you're sending it to, and with robots who read it to improve their advertiding effectiveness
Amazon claim not to share your (credit card) data, but will share your book reviews
Cyclechat claim to share your posts but not your private messages (except with their recipients)
Facebook claim ... ahahaha, who believes anything facebook claim?

All of these services are provided by attaching computers to the internet, even if heavily firewalled or whatever there is by definition some mechanism by which the data you send them on the internet arrives at its destination. We all make our own calls about how far we trust each of these companies and all the others to do what they say they will, and act accordingly, but to draw some arbitrary line where one side is "you uploaded to the internet, you loser" and the other is "you did nothing wrong at all" is, I continue to believe, not helping. @BigonaBianchi has it right where he talks about calculated risk

 

[ScotiaLass]

Bet you wouldn't dare post them on here?

You are correct.

 

[ScotiaLass]

Just as well or you'd be off her Xmas card list and the Xmas cards have got the risque pictures on.

I think it would be more of a threat to keep him on the risqué xmas card list.....

 

[stephec]

You are correct.

Damn, and double damn!

 

[Smokin Joe]

You are correct.

Ooh, you're such a tease.

I've had to go to the courts to maintain my privacy. It's not me per se the press wanted to see but the naked forms of that Rachel one off Countdown, Victoria Pendleton and Jessica Ennis all joining in when they saw me taking a naked selfie of myself so they raced each other to see who'd be naked first (Rachel) and then were all over me like a shower of warm honey. It was so emBARrassing! I just hope no one ever finds out. Oh, and Cameron Diaz, I forgot about her.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

I just took a naked selfie on the terrace.....if you lot dont send me £50 each via pay pal I'm gonna post it up here.

 

[Ajay]

Just one, but clothed above the waist so technically not a nude

 

[Paulus]

None, the world isn't ready for that kind of photo yet.

 

[TVC]

.....would you care to say how you found out, TVC?

I hacked you favourites list, why do you ask?

 

[surfdude]
