iCloud being blamed for photo leaks is like Dasani being blamed for incontinence.
The controversy about celebrity photo leaks is because of an iPhone feature called “Photo Stream”, where photos are automatically uploaded into iCloud once you take them on your phone.
It’s great, say, if you’re on vacation and drop your phone off a yacht into the Mediterranean–you can go back to the hotel, open your laptop, and find that your selfies are intact.
and hopefully not pics of some random family’s daughter
It’s not great, say, if you lift up a tit in the mirror, take a photo of it, then send it to your boyfriend with the text “DELETE IMMEDIATELY”.
This is a very simple feature to turn off, by going into your iPhone settings and turning Photo Stream off, or you can go through your photos and make sure that photo was deleted, or, if you’re a celebrity and realize that maybe a photo of your splayed-out vagina is not what you’d like to have on the front of the New York Post, realize that it would be best to not have any kind of photographic evidence of it.
even a celebrity can figure it out!
But celebrities are dumb and assistants are dumb and publicists are dumb and managers are dumb and nobody outside of The Big Bang Theory castmates were smart enough to prevent this from happening.
The Daily Mail has this moneyquote about the situation, after Kirsten Dunst posted the first Official Celebrity Reaction (TM) on Twitter:
The Spiderman star tweeted ‘Thank you iCloud’ along with icons representing a slice of pizza and a pile of poo on Monday afternoon, the day after naked photos of her were published online.
Yes, a couple of emojis counts as “leading celeb anger” these days.
Apparently nude photos of Kirsten Dunst were among the leaks, but it’s not 2004 so nobody cares.
the snaggle is real
