"Apple believes everyone has a right to privacy"
I can't remember the exact wording but when you set up a new iPhone/Mac it has some statement along the lines of "Apple believes everyone has a right to privacy".
Which is correct, they do.
It seems some people are quick to blame others for storing *their* data of *their* choice on *their* own device. It doesn't matter if you think someone is stupid for storing nudes on their own phone - the bottom line is that's their own personal data and on their own device and there is absolutely no implied consent for other people to "have" it. They have a right to privacy and just because it's "technically" possible for the data to be shared or leaked doesn't mean that's acceptable. On balance of probability the victim didn't want that data to be shared publically and gave nobody the right to do that.
This also goes further. Some people seem very quick to blame others for what they consider to be weak security practices. Again, it doesn't give anybody else the right to take advantage of that, and the law should rightly take that into account - was there clear intent from a victim to have their data stolen? Of course in 99.9% of cases - no, absolutely not. Stop blaming people when you know damn well others have done them wrong.
