For those who have been living under a tree, sexting is a term used for the sending of a picture messages to a loved one with a raunchy picture attached. Now you probably are thinking what the hell am I on about? Well most people have no idea of the ramifications that can and most likely will happen when you message gets into the wrong hands.
Firstly when you send any message on a cell phone network, the data is stored on a server before it is downloaded to the recipient’s phone. Many times there are pervert system engineers that work for the telecommunication companies that are viewing these images and keep copies for themselves and sometimes will share them with others.
More problems can arise when a pic is stored on the phone, or phones memory card and someone gets hold of your phone either buying it second hand or refurbished. In some rare cases people might use file recovery software the device to recover deleted images from the phone.
The chances that someone is going to get hold of your private pictures are pretty high so all I can say is people, keep it in the bedroom and to the imagination. If someone doesn’t want to go out with you because you won’t send a sext, then they were not worth wasting your time with in the first place.
Ladies! This probably affects you the most, be careful this could ruin your chances of getting a job in the future if something like this circulates, and for some I guess this could improve chances if the boss is a pervert.
DON’T store anything online that you wouldn’t want anyone else to see, because these photo hosting sites get hacked often and files become public for all to see.
I hear some say “but celebrities do it” yes but they only do it to get attention because in their line of business, any publicity is good, plus Hollywood is full of perverts.
Parent’s take notice of your kids and for the love of God please talk to them about this stuff before they ruin their life in one fleeting moment in an effort to get attention.
