Pr0n WARNING! You might be in it!
Wow, turns out if you use photobucket there is a method of pulling your "private" photos and videos. TONS of private fleshy pictures, videos, videos, videos, videos only shown to trusted friends, videos to your lover, videos only seen by yourself, videos in which you farted at the end so you didn't even send it, videos videos videos --- are all over the internet and you may not even know. So, even if you can trust the person you sent it to or you didn't, but trust yourself, you cannot trust the website to keep your private videos private.

Nope, you shouldn't. Have you ever read (and understood) every word of a site's TOS? (Well, okay maybe you can understand it, being a law guy and all.) And what if the site gets sold, and sold, and sold again? Not to mention what if they get hacked, or someone leaves a back door for themselves?

Back in my computer security days, we told people that the Internet is as private as a postcard. Chances are no one will see it, but you never really know...

"private as a postcard" - that's perfect.

I could go on like this for days...

leaves a back door for themselves

Well yes, that would be the video I was thining of...

Good postcard anal-ogy. People think of it like a phone call, where only the beginning and end of the call are aware...and yet those are not only in packet form but also fap...tappable.
