Blackmail as a service. Well done, internet. But you're 25+ years behind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Bell
Not completely sure what the impact of revenge porn is, but I would posit it could reduce your chances of having and raising a kid in a two parent household. Making lists like this have as bad an impact on society than they do on the individuals involved. It's difficult to articulate what someone could reasonably see as the proportionate response to this would be, but it doesn't seem to have a top. I'd recommend to the authors to think these things through, but really, they should just try to be better people.
It's funny till you realize the same thing can be done to people who aren't weirdos too, like for revenge porn and hacked nudes.
All grossness and legality aside, as someone who didn't know much about NFT or the minting/selling process, this was surprisingly the easiest to understand guide about it I've seen anywhere, in plain English that most people could understand.
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.
Repulsive and vindictive people masquerading as socially righteous? Glad this hasn't been mainstreamed into an acceptable personality type in the last decade!
NFTs are following the same trend as 2017 ICOs. Bubble is going to pop at some point. The survivors will be the projects with real long-term value.

It seems like the NFT wouldn’t have much blackmail value if created from an image saved locally. It would be the provable association with the social media account that would give it teeth.
Since I've never sent a DP to anyone, I think this is hilarious, folks sending them out to people are "obviously" proud of what they're displaying, so I'm not seeing what's the problem here. (tongue in cheek, but I still find the outrage hilarious)
Not HN-worthy.
Weird.
This is fairly gross, pretending to be socially concious when if the technical claims were true it would be a horrific potential for abuse (revenge porn etc).
NFT's have nothing to do with ownership, if someone puts up your data illegally or even just breaking copyright, get the police / a lawyer involved and they will take it down, luckily NFTs are heavily centralised so it wont be difficult.
