Another Revenge Porn Site Reveals Private Pictures Will Never Remain Private

Maybe I am showing my age here, but I can remember how folks once scanned through Myspace photos, hoping to find and re-post little gems like these:


Of course, here we are, years later, when the Internet has er, um, advanced so far. Users of the photo sharing website Photobucket became familiar with the term fusking, where hackers created some embarrassing moments for so many that thought private photos really meant private -- NOT!


Web engineers went to work to fix the "holes" in Photobucket. But did it stop there? Next came the revenge porn websites, where disgruntled ex-lovers could post the fond memories of their former loves.



The revenge porn sites have created some well-publicized legal battles, with the ex-loves appearing in the photos are fighting back.



It seems another site has been created, You Got Posted, where anyone can submit photos (including explicit ones and video). You can search for both girls and guys and even browse by state. You'll find the good, the bad, and even the ugly here.





And then there is our personal favorite.
