I have a friend and if that was his job... lets just say they would be well used.

A 'friend'

He's actually not very far off base. Revenge **** site make a lot of money stealing private photos and vids illegally and then publishing your private info with it for the sole purpose of site users to harass the people in them. Although I think you should be allowed to do what you want without living in fear of scum like that

It's all on a giant database called PRISM. Look it up.

#1: They are what? They are steal it all?

I liked your comment because it was witty and your profile picture is of L

Is in the armed forces?

Way to say it :)

Yeah, like those apps don't save them on their servers either. The snapchat servers were hacked a while ago and a lot of the pictures were stolen, even the ones people thought were gone forever.

Just put the pictures on 4chan. They don't archive threads, so it's safe.

Or they say they don't archive threads so you think you're safe.

I feel really sorry for you if you weren't aware of the fact that apps see and save your pics and texts.

you think the government doesn't record all those posts?

Feeding the chickens

wanking the llamas

Hmm, lets consult Professor Hans Jerkoff about this.

Jerkin the Gherkin!

The amount of puns in one comment...

I should have done better with those puns. I guess I'm not at my best at 2:30 AM though, when I posted that.

It's like a fight between a racer and his tires...

I don't know, why would you want someone's nudes? Hmmmm....

u do realise obama passed a law so the government can and does save all your texts in case they need to "review" them later don't u?

And they watch all sorts of video chatting too, so no help there. In all honesty, as long as you're 18+ while you're engaging in whatever sexual self-image exchange it is you like to do over the internet or via text, you have nothing to worry about. Other than the risk of potential exploitation, but that's a risk you take with any racy picture.

@17 You do realize that the Patriot Act has been around before Obama, and even in administrations before that, the NSA was trolling communications data. Lets try not to get political about something that isn't.

The Patriot Act came into effect shortly after 9/11, if I'm not mistaken.

The point isn't really that It's illegal, 34. It's that It's a total invasion of privacy. People can just look at pictures you send or read your texts.. That is some spooky shit right there.

The PATRIOT Act (all caps because it's actually an acronym) was enacted by George W Bush. However, no one realized how far reaching it was until after Barack Obama came into office, and he's done virtually nothing to address the concerns raised by both politicians and ordinary folks on both sides of the political isle.

It is political and Obama was the one that said to get all communications recorded not the ones before him

Their servers have been hacked and photos leaked in the past, there isn't really a safe alternative.

Snapchat themselves have admitted they see everyones pictures, meaning someone keeps them somewhere.

I say don't take photos of it if you wouldn't want your parents seeing it. I had an incident involving photos and I can't stress it enough to think before you send them!

PANAMA

Edward Snowden proved that it's no conspiracy

I think you mean it's not a theory anymore. It's definitely a conspiracy.

You are right. That's what I meant!

Yeah... my statement had nothing to do with any government-related situation but rather myself hoping OP's boyfriend wasn't trying to avoid pictures from her for other reasons - a point which was clearly missed.
