Pretty much. A sleezy guy at work would show off the nudes he got on his private phone from girls on Snapchat by taking pictures of the screen with his work phone.

Life tip: never send nudes or any private information to anyone you don't completely trust, regardless of the privacy features the communication medium offers, as there's always an easy workaround.

How about you never take nudes in the first place?

Data can leak in multitude of ways, earned trust can be broken, etc..

That's obviously the safest option, but sending and receiving nudes is an activity many sexually active people find arousing.

Not having sex is also the safest option to preventing pregnancies and STDs, but people still engage in it with protections that are not 100% guarantee simply because it's an activity that most people need.

The argument also quickly turns into blaming the victims.

how about keeping always 50 meters away from any road? it is the safest way to avoid a car accident

Or maybe just never get naked. Who knows where the cameras may be.

Ironically this is actually what it takes. So many airbnb hosts and landlords are getting caught with hidden cameras all over the place.

Better tip: never send any information or opinion you wouldnt want the public, your parents, your colleagues and the police to associate your name to. I dont get the newish trend online to send BS you're ashamed of.
