Leaked: who profits from celebrity nudes?

from The Slow Newscast

Ten years ago, nude images of dozens of A-list celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence and Kirsten Dunst were leaked online following an iCloud hack. They’re still all over the internet. Lawrence’s hacker went to jail, but her intimate images can be found on dedicated sites – sites that are making a profit. This week, Eleanor Biggs and Patricia Clarke dive headlong into the mysterious, murky world of so-called “fappening” websites. It’s a cat and mouse story of one woman's fight to get images she never wanted on the internet, taken down for good… and the nefarious actors, from website owners to big tech corporations, that she’s up against. To find out more about Tortoise:Download the Tortoise app - for a listening experience curated by our journalistsSubscribe to Tortoise+ on Apple Podcasts for early access and ad-free contentBecome a member and get access to all of Tortoise's premium audio offerings and moreIf you want to get in touch with us directly about a story, or tell us more about the stories you want to hear about contact [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
