The hero of so-called social media taps over the camera of his PC and the microphone of his PC, and uses open source as his email client.

There is nothing that is secure, and Mark Zuckerberg knows it.

Meanwhile, study after study has confirmed that using spyphones in the classroom does not improve the student's school work.

Many companies are also banning spyphones at work, because they are so unproductive.

As for socialisising, spyphones are highly anti-social, and it is totally insulting to attempt a conversation with someone how does not look at you, because they have their eyes glued to their spyphone.

As for naked pictures sent by women, read Esther Vilar's book, "The Manipulated Man".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manipulated_Man

And the number one way women manipulate men is through sex, or the suggestion of sex.

So by encouraging women to send photos of themselves naked, (or by being accepting of it), men are allowing themselves to fall into the trap of being manipulated by women.

As well, sending selfies of your naked self is pathetically americanised and just plain stupid.

Young people have to be educated regards all of this.

But it is likely that they are too young to learn, so the spyphones are simply taken from them.

Or young people are removed from their spyphones.

Either way.

This 'horny boys' excuse has been done to death. Being horny does not give ANYONE the right to destroy lives by publicly humiliating women's private images of themselves.

Men just do not want to face up to the fact that women are every bit as sexual and horny as they are. Men and boys want to keep writing the rules on human sexuality in their own image: Men's sexuality is normal and natural, but women's sexuality is either slutty or pure.

I'm not interested in your holier-than-thou protestations that boys are victims because they choose to destroy a young girl's life by plastering nude images of her all over the internet and rating her on her f*ckability.

This is criminal behaviour and internet law needs to catch up with it.

'And the number one way women manipulate men is through sex, or the suggestion of sex.'

Other way round. It's MEN who manipulate WOMEN through sex. The culture is saturated with overt and covert messages that men are always out for sex and that women must meet their voracious sexual appetites or risk abandonment.

It's nonsense of course, but cultural messages run deep. The concept that women have their own sexual needs, that are every bit as important as the male sex drive, is still a cultural no-no

I think this discussion has run its course. Thank you to those who contributed, it's a shame that there are a couple who are incapable of anything other than mindless abuse.

interactive, I would be interested in exploring some of your comments, but this is not the place.

What is female sexuality?

In this site there is an ad saying "Don't hide it, flaunt it".

That is an ad for Weight Watchers, and that company is run almost entirely by women.

And on the Weight Watchers site it mentions "showing it off"

"https://www.weightwatchers.com/au/pickyourplan?cid=40100

The teenager girls putting pictures of themselves (naked or semi-naked) on the internet are flaunting it and showing it off.

So female sexuality is basically females showing their bodies in an attempt to attract male attention.

Maybe that is how nature designed it, where a woman attempts to attract a man by showing her body, and the man might be attracted to that woman.

But if the woman is flaunting herself as some type of ego trip or mind game, then she is likely to continue playing her mind games, and women being manipulative and playing mind games is something men do not admire in women AT ALL.

Boys have to learn to avoid such females.

In the case of naked selfies, it originally came from america, and has now found its way into Australia.

america has heavily polluted the bodies of our young people by supplying so much junk food.

america has heavily polluting the minds of our young people by supplying so many violent movies and glamorising drug taking, and now america is supplying antisocial media and spyphones.

For the sake of our young, it is time to reject nearly everything that comes from america.

Anti-America is just as foolish, throwing out the baby with the bathwater. What about its robust freedom of speech and democratic government? Perhaps your target is advertisers instead.

The problem is that many people stupidly allow others to do their thinking for them. The behaviour of the ABC's 'randomly selected audiences' (they should say self-selected from rather predictable sources), especially on Q&A and witness just how easily they are led by Jones and others, sometimes flip-flopping back and forth.

What is needed is better teachers who can model critical, independent thought and a broader, much deeper study and appreciation of literature. I would add the study of philosophy, but even there political correctness often rules. That is why students should be strongly encouraged to go direct to sources and become avid readers, not relying on middlemen, or middlewomyn as it so often is in education.
