Never. Nor did I ever take photos with genuine film when I was younger. I tell my kids often that NOTHING done or said on a phone or computer is private. Unless you would be willing to have it printed for everyone in your school to see, don't write it or post it. And it never, ever goes away, even if you think you have deleted it. Of course, I don't let my kids on FB or other social networking sites, either, but someday they will make their own computer decisions and I hope they are wise ones.
And of course no one "deserves" to have their photos or private information stolen. It was a crime for anyone to hack and steal the pictures, and it ought o be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if they can track down who did it. But things like this are what my mum used to call an "attractive hazard."
A city in my state put out a public warning last year that people should not leave their cars running, unlocked and unattended (people often started their cars early in the cold weather), and they should not leave their personal possessions in the unlocked car, either. Obviously, cars and belongings were being stolen. Again, the people who stole the cars and belongings were still criminals, but common sense said that those crimes could have been made much more difficult to carry out if people had taken precautions.
Likewise in this case. Nothing in the "cloud" is private and safe. That doesn't make stealing those photos okay, but a little common sense could have prevented people from becoming victims. It goes without saying that celebrity nudies are a hot commodity and in demand. Who in their right mind would have allowed those photos to be "out there" in the first place?
