This week’s question comes from Angie W. in San Francisco. She asks, “I have been reading about Apple’s decision to object to, and refuse to comply with, an FBI request to crack the iPhone which was linked to a shooter in the San Bernardino massacre. How would this affect my privacy as an iPhone owner/user?”
Angie, this question is one which deals with an individual’s rights to privacy.
Today’s question comes from Nikki F. Who asks: “My former boyfriend and I were together for a long time. His job required a lot of travel.
When he was away we would talk a lot on the phone and engage in what people call “sexting” – we would send selfies back and forth of us in the nude and while engaged in self stimulation. He also recorded video of us being intimate on his cell phone so he could “watch it on the road.” I always told him that he couldn’t show it to anyone else and thought that this was just between us. After a series of infidelities I broke up with him and told him what I thought of him. Recently I have discovered that he posted some of those pictures on websites designed to humiliate people. He told some of his friends to check out the pictures and that’s how I heard about it. I feel violated completely exposed and humiliated What if anything can I do?”
