If you offer up a nude selfie to someone who texted you 10 minutes prior or just matched with on grindr, you are not qualified to write, review or even vote on legislation for the country.
I am now learning that:
"A famous person known to have fallen victim of the scheme was the first United States Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton"

The fact that nudity and sex drive is stigmatized is the very thing that empowers these scammers.
But, I wonder how that will work going forward with AI generated photos? Suppose it could cut both ways. Like, if you're okay with everything in your life, nothing can be used to blackmail you with -- but what about fake stuff, that people lie about, could that still be used to pressure you? Maybe, maybe not -- depends on the person I suppose.
Not for me, I don't think anyone could get to me with lies, and i don't have anything to hide. But I'm more like what you're talking about: self empowered attitude. It's not for everybody perhaps, but works for me. Hahahaha! :)
