Better not have anything X-rated or NSFW in your photo library then. :stuck_out_tongue:

Crikey!

The app allows up to fifty friends to play. Who in the world has that problem? If I were to play with all my friends, I’d statistically have a 50/50 chance of being correct. And my friends would quickly see that all my pictures are of aircraft parts and purple flowers that I thought my wife would find pretty.

I just spent way to long trying to read the article without logging in just so I could read the “horror stories”. Spoiler: they’re not very horrific and it wasn’t worth the effort. On a related note, I figured out how to read WSJ stories without logging in.

Great, this program will randomly send out the photographs people take of receipts, bank checks and other documents as records :thinking:

In other words, better to not live in the 21st century.

Although truth be told, I’d be more concerned about the random screenshots and/or photos of random documents than anything pornographic on my phone.

I’ll pass on this one.

This wouldn’t work with gay men. I mean, it would work, but you wouldn’t want it to.

I shared this with my gay friends and we all agreed that it would just be picture after picture of buttholes and genitals – either our own, or strangers.

It’s on your phone.
You have already shared it with other people. And algorithms.
