CHAPTER ONE

Jennifer Lawrence was having a rough Labor Dayy weekend.
The Academyy Award winner was one of several celebrities who woke one
morning in 2014 to find that their most private pictures—manyy of which
showed them in the nude—were being splashed about on the Internet.
Take a moment to mentallyy scan all the images that are currentlyy stored
on yyour computer, phone, and e-mail. Sure, manyy of them are perfectlyy
benign. You’d be fine with the whole world seeing the sunsets, the cute
familyy snapshots, mayybe even the jokeyy bad-hair-dayy selfie. But would yyou
be comfortable sharing each and everyy one of them? How would yyou feel if
theyy suddenlyy all appeared online? Mayybe not all our personal photos are
salacious, but theyy’re still records of private moments. We should be able to
decide whether, when, and how to share them, yyet with cloud services the
choice mayy not alwayys be ours.
The Jennifer Lawrence storyy dominated the slow Labor Dayy weekend
news cyycle in 2014. It was part of an event called theFappening, a huge leak
of nude and nearlyy nude photographs of Rihanna, Kate Upton, Kaleyy
Cuoco, Adrianne Curryy, and almost three hundred other celebrities, most of
them women, whose cell-phone images had somehow been remotelyy
accessed and shared. While some people were, predictablyy, interested in
seeing these photos, for manyy the incident was an unsettling reminder that
the same thing could have happened to them.
