Much like facebook, anything you send over the web/text is considered public. If you read the Terms Of Service of Facebook, facebook owns anything you say or post on the site and have the right to do with it as they please. Same goes for taking and sending nudes. Once you hit that send button, they are no longer under your private ownership. And why would you trust anyone with nudes? Hunter is just exposing the people in the world who need to learn the importance of making choices in life. Yeah you all may think its sleezy and that hes profiting off it it, but in reality he's not. From my understanding(and what I have read via tumblr and posts), it costs around $8,000 a month to keep Isanyoneup running, and Hunter does not make that much money simply selling T-shirts and sweaters. Isanyoneup is not a scam,it is not a stupid site. Isanyone up is a way of life. #NBHNC.
The person you had on the Monday show is the scum of the Earth! He is lower than the crap on the bottom of my shoe!I'm 60 YWe ols male and I have aface book acccount but there ar no pictures on my face book page and I have no nude pic's out there at all! I feel for the women tat had pics on that scum bag's web page! Now, I feel better! Thanks, Bill Newell
I throughoy enjoyed your show on 'predetors' Nov 22.
Just this past week my 'developmentally delayed, ADD, special needs' daughter of 28 who is extremely trusting of her friends, but she realized there was a problem so she called her sister telling her that 'someone who had her password had written some nasty stuff about her on her FACEBOOK wall'... when she finally gave her sister the password we were SHOCKED at what was written 'downright disgusting!' It was an X boyfriend and within the hour we got calls from as far as Australia, Spain, US etc with concerns that Sharon my daughter was really losing it. We were able to delete much of it, if was too late, as we only found out much later.
How can we help Sharon. She now has a new BF, and in fact we were talking with them and apprently 'they are BOTH trying to change the password'. Again, she is trusting......
Would like to hear more from Bill on Internet Security in the future. Prior to sending anything via internet - especially photos - I always ask myself if I am comfortable with the possibility of potentially everyone seeing what I have sent.
As for webcams - they make me crazy. I no longer shower at the gym due to a rumour o*****irl being filmed in one of the tanning beds.
Bill was very informative.
