    I’ve reported pictures/gifs of accidental nudity that were posted on Reddit without any evidence of consent, and they blew me off. Not just ignored me - they took the time to say the content was fine.

    Yeah, it was legal to post stuff like that - no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places and all that. But it isn’t ethical. Don’t do it. It isn’t funny.
