News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Public information is not the same as public domain. They still hold the copyright on the streams, making reuploads illegal.
Also, aside from legality, it's simply morally wrong. They consented to be watched once live (or, if they enabled recordings, until they delete the VOD), not for it to be shared around on third party sites forever - regardless what Chaturbate put in their TOS to cover their asses.
Anyone who puts personal porn on the internet and who doesn't understand that EVERYTHING is digitally archived somewhere in the world, is a digitally illiterate moron. She performed sex for strangers on a website that does not even claim to be able to protect your material from theft. If she cared SOOOO much, she should have hidden her face, covered any tattoos, blocked people from her state, and removed all personally identifiable items from her bedroom.
Is it morally wrong? Sure, I guess. Is it completely fucking predictable? Also, yes. Should she just roll with it and stop making it out to be some kind of deep violation of her privacy? Also yes. There's a reason people flock to Trump, and it's because he's not an apologetic, spineless worm. Stop being so fucking weak, own it, and fight the hell back! There's nothing wrong with consensual sex, and it would play SOOOOOO much better if she just said, "Yeah my husband and I fuck. So what? Let's talk about healthcare!"
Jesus these mealy-mouthed, pearl-clutching Quaker wannabes are exhausting.
Gosh, you seem to care about this a lot...
Which is weird, because we seem to be in agreement about a major part:
Was it predictable that it would be recorded and redistributed? Sure. But that still doesn't make it right.
Oh my god! How dare someone comment on a discussion forum!!
You'll note that I never said anything was right or wrong, in any of my comments. In fact, I don't give a shit about right and wrong, and I've said so before. The videos are public information, she showed her face in them, she knew they could be leaked, they were leaked, and the more she hems and haws about a violation of privacy the more she looks like a spineless, clueless dumbass.
Nah, it's more about the capslock, bold font and insults.
I mean, you said in your previous comment in this chain that you "guess" it's morally wrong. And beyond me quoting that I have not claimed you made a moral judgement on this situation.
But alas, I think that it is morally wrong whether or not it was foreseeable, and I do so regardless of what your moral judgement of the situation is (if any). Which, again, seems to really matter to you.
If formatted text scares you, maybe don't spend time reading comments on an internet forum, genius.
What kind of gatekeeping sophistry nonsense is that? You replied to me, chump. I literally don't care one iota about your pseudo-intellectual moralizing, and the fact that you keep trying to focus on me and my tone rather than the facts of the story at hand, tells me that you're just here to fellate yourself.
I repeat: I don't care if it was right or wrong. It was entirely predictable, it was consensual, it doesn't fucking matter, and whining and complaining is a losing strategy in the court of public opinion. It gives delicate white knight cupcakes like you something to hyperventilate about, and you're playing right into the GOP's hands because they know you can't resist judging someone down the slope of your nose. Focus less on right and wrong, and more on winning. Nobody likes whiny losers.
