Dangers of sharing private images in cyberspace
TNTT – female TikToker emerged with hot trending dance clips, attracting a large number of fans. She has a beautiful appearance and a well-proportioned body, so she has received many invitations to be a fashion model and PR model for dynamic and youthful products that suit the trends of young people.
Half a year ago, a pretty girl made a serious mistake when she “accidentally uploaded” an intimate 18+ clip of her and her boyfriend to her story. When realizing the mistake, many people in the online community took pictures of this sensitive moment and it spread quickly.
At that time, she did not think about the huge risk of sharing personal photos on cyberspace. This leads to the owner's image being misused, from defamation, blackmail, to more serious consequences such as being stalked or harassed online.
These scandals are considered to have a significant impact on life, work, study, social and family relationships. Furthermore, restoring reputation and removing information from social networks is an extremely difficult process. As for the female lead, she chose to turn off the comment feature and is currently locking her personal page, silently waiting for it to “disappear”.
Female TikToker slips into scandal
Half a year after the incident, when the people involved were gradually stabilizing and returning to normal daily life, she still received unkind comments. Sharing a happy video with her new boyfriend on the channel, netizens still “remind” TT about the past she doesn't want to remember.
The frequency of encountering similar things was so great that the girl was so upset that she posted a long letter:
“What happened in the past was due to me believing in the wrong people and my impulsiveness. I was wrong in the past, I have taken responsibility, what happened in the past days, only I and my family will know.” I don't want to bring anything negative to social networks. It's not that I don't know how to be sad, it's that I'm used to being criticized even though I haven't done anything wrong.
I also didn't do anything stupid or bad to make people talk so harshly. No one wants something like that to happen to them. I am and have been changing every day.
I said it so my family and husband wouldn't be sad or anything because I have nerves of steel. I've been hurt a lot, I just want to give the person I love something good. I'm editing to make my mother happy, not for the online community. I also want to be loved like everyone else. Whoever curses, I curse back, I'm decent, right person, right place, right place.”
Besides the resumption of personal channels, this is the first time that TT officially shared his opinion after the previous unfortunate incident.
