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.

My comment was overly flippant, and was intended to refer only to my own "private" online content, which I tend to assume is locked well enough to keep casual surfers away but is not actually safe from all hackitudery. And which I am just not that bothered about anyway; the photoshoot with the shaved llama is safe in my hard drive.

If it's dumb to trust friends with your secrets, I think it's just as dumb to trust anonymous strangers at an ISP or content site with something you'd be mortified if other people saw.

Reasonable expectation of privacy is kinda fun. The law continues to evolve, though this adminstration has stripped it all away to keep us safe.

It's not really about the law, in this case; it's about the technology evolving. People don't understand the web, so they make assumptions that are not warranted. And the law, even under a better gummint, would have to do a lot of work to keep up - it has trouble even defining the internetz.
