2014 Celebrity Photo Hack Leaks: 'What Was In The Cloud?' And Who Has It? Celeb-Google $100M Lawsuit May Have Ended Fappening
2014 Celebrity Photo Hack Leaks were one of the most searched topics this year and rightly so. There was much interest in what Apple called the iCloud and everyone was learning first hand 'what was in the cloud?' Though J. Law, Kate Upton and other A-listers began the first round of 2014 Celebrity Photo Hack Leaks, aka Fappening, a term coined by the image sharing site group, 4Chan.
It was only a matter of time before other celebrities were revealed in the 2014 Celebrity Photo Hack Leaks and some of them recognized the selfies they had taken with their iPhones. Just ahead of Apple's big launch of the iPhone 6, there was a question mark about the safety of Apple Inc.'s storage service, the iCloud. Everyone loved the iPhone, but what did people think of the iCloud? Was there an option to get one without the other?
In the end, Apple's iPhone sale did not dwindle after it published a statement saying there was nothing to identify the iCloud as the culprit in the 2014 Celebrity Photo Hack Leaks. However, those who were late to be exposed on the nude photo leak bandwagon, like actress and model Gabrielle Union spoke out publicly against the 4Chan attacks as a violation of personal privacy.
Even Dr. Phil, the ephemeral 'you need a soft place to fall'-psychologist, says he doesn't understand why selfies are on the Cloud. In an interview with a talk show host, Dr. Phil remarked, 'I understand selfies (it's a generational thing) but who trusts the Cloud?'
As the number of Fappening victims were rising each week, J. Law among others had contacted the FBI and Apple to look into the heinous crime. But to no avail. An investigation by Apple or the FBI produced little results if any. So, as a collective bunch, the Fappening victims were ready to sue Google for a $100 million if they did not stop the nude photo searches from flooding the Internet. At that point, the photos of celebs hovering the Net were mostly controlled. And soon, the links from 4Chan to Reddit were taken more seriously by their website.
Masterherald reported in the last weeks of the Fappening, "Nicola Peltz, Percival T (Cheerleader), Krysten Ritter and Angie Miller, Aubrey Cleland (American Idol Contestants) are the names topping the leaked photo gossips this week."
The report continued to add, "One celebrity who became a victim, purely due to her fault is Miller from American Idol. She admitted publicly that she had been a part of some nude photo shoots but did not want to give away the images on social media. Instead, she hosted them on a casual sexual encounters website and shared the link to the website on her Facebook profile."
