This is bad. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Not to minimise the seriousness of cyber-flashing, but sharing with the world intimate/sensitive data/media without the consent of the other party is reprehensible (too). I don't think that “but what they did was 10× worse!” makes this site defensible. I surely hope there are better strategies to deal with unsolicited naked pics.



Hm, I'm not sure you miss the point of the website. It says: "If you feel the urge to send a no-context jpeg of your junk, we’ll give it the audience you clearly think it deserves", so this website is for the people who want to share their intimate junk to the whole world, not for others to share other peoples intimate junk (which I'm pretty sure is illegal in most places)


No, I think you are the one missing the point. This is clearly for people to post unsolicited DP's that they have received from others. The sentence you quoted is tongue-in-cheek.


That's way too charitable a reading. See context (Twitter, coverage): it's clearly intended as a tool for victims of cyber-flashing, to be used _without_ the consent of the person sending the photo(s).


A few lines down:

>You’re done! Now send the NFT link back to Mr. Creep and laugh all the way to bank.

Presumably "Mr. Creep" is the sender of the DP, and not the person using the site and minting the NFT.
