It is so common nowadays to upload pictures on the net especially on the social networking sites. But it is sad that some bad people are trying to blackmail anyone for uploading their unpleasant pictures in exchange of money or something. So we should be very careful. We should not trust people to ask for photos of us. They might abuse it or take advantage on it. I don't know why people are getting so mean and mean. They should have been thinking about the damage it brings to others.

Yes, you're right. It is very common to upload pictures in different social networking sites nowadays. When people take some pictures, they are already thinking of uploading them in a particular social networking site. Of course, most of us want to have a good image in other people's eyes. For me, I really love taking some pictures. I love taking some of them when I go out with my friends, when I'm with my family, or with my loved one. Of course, not all of the photos we would be able to take are good shots. There are also some photos which we don't want others to see because they might not look so good. There are also some photos that we like to keep in private. Maybe there are some reasons why those photos shouldn't be seen by others. What if one time, those photos were discovered by others, took copies of those, and frightened someone that if he or she wouldn't give a certain amount of money or do something they were asking to do, they would expose those photos in public by uploading them. I think that is really a terible situation. I don't want that to happen to me. You're right, people should be careful on keeping their photos or memory cards. They should also take good care of their hand phones or digital cameras. If they might lose those things, there would be some photos there that they are keeping. If others were able to get the hand phone or camera, they might really upload those photos and terrible things might happen. One more thing, people should be careful when they are chatting with other people. While doing it, they might be unaware others might take some photos of them and frighten them that they will upload those photos. They might be terrible photos they don't like others to see. You're right, other people are getting so mean nowadays. So we should always be alert. We should be aware of the people around us. We should beware of the people we trust too. People should be kind to one another. They should protect one another. They shouldn't bring damage to other people as much as possible because that couldn't result to anything good.

Hi tess_quinain, such situation always happen for nowadays merely money talks in society. Many culprits wish to get rich easy and fast. They grab every opportunity without putting in effort and time even never realize that what they done would hurt others severely. We must be very careful whenever uploading personal photos onto webs, especially popular websites. This is to prevent getting hurt from people having malicious intent to get advantage regardless of others position and feeling Happy posting

Yes, it is so sad as nowadays with just a cellphone with camera in your hand anyone can be a paparazzi- taking others photos or made videos of other people as the like. For me, anything you do do it with ethical and moral in yourself. Even if we don't do anything bad or wrong but just because they are mean and greedy they just do what they like. Sometimes they doing it just for pleasure but it gives a real disadvantage to others.

I guess we really must be very careful about that. Especially if they aren't our friends we shouldn't be giving out our precious photos, especially those unpleasant ones. Better keep it safe and private with us. That way we put ourselves out of blackmailers and evil ones =)

There are just people who wants their attention to them that's why they take unpleasant pictures then upload it on the net, so that everyone can see. Sometimes others take it as a flirting way especially when they liked someone. Boy or girl should have a self-respect.

There have always been mean people on the internet. Fortunately, we do not encounter them all the time. When something happens, we sure do feel vulnerable.

The way I see it, if you don't want anything exposed on the internet, you shouldn't put it there, in an email, on your own personal site, IM, nowhere. Personal things should never be put online, at least in my opinion. In the past, I've had some males ask me for private photos of myself and I always told them that I just don't do that. If they want pics of a naked female, they'd have to go someplace else or find someone who was willing to take and send photos like that. I'm not the least bit interested in men who want those kinds of photos, anyway. Still, blackmailing is wrong, no matter what. Maybe the people who want naked pictues will have sto start going to the "adult" book stores in the future.

Yeah, I heard in the news about that high school in the US where the high school students Facebook accounts were hacked and put onto a different site. It was someone from overseas. It's scary. You have to be careful and choose good passwords, and lock your keyboard/laptop when not in use. Also, stay away from internet cafes, wi-fi hotspots.

The days are turned a lot. The people will do anything for the sake of money and it may include the friends or your relatives. The only thing we can do is we must be very careful at these things. Try to slip up when such photo sessions are happening. I think it doesn't matter when you have photos with others but make sure that they do not utilize them for bad uses. It as the capability to exploit your future.
