Taking nude pics on any "smart" device is just a bad idea.
The issue is not really that people are using smart devices for whatever, but that they were explicitly promised that the devices were safe enough to guard your private data. And that was a lie from Apple to sell more devices.
This is 100% on Apple's head. Not the consumers that were lied to.
Besides, which devices are so "not smart" these days that there is no chance of data leakage or recovery?
I should absolutely be able trust my phone to store my private data. If my phone isn't trustworthy that is an issue that should be resolved. I mean sure, every copy of data is a risk, but there are a lot of more valuable data (in my opinion) on my phone than nudes.
Yes you should, but you have take your data safety into your own hands. You cannot trust Google, Apple, and other big tech companies. That is not to say that these companies should get away with the things they do, there should be punishment.. but that is the reality.
