"If your reaction to the hack attack on celebrities is to blame them for taking nude photos," she threatens, "you're pointing the finger at the wrong person," wrote Megan Gibson of Time.īut Günther Oettiger stood by his remarks. "This elaborate blame game shifts responsibility from an obvious fact: It just isn't wise to keep nude photos of yourself on the cloud if you don't want them made public," she wrote. Cupp agreed that the celebrities played at least a small role. The EU leader is not the only one to place blame on celebrities after their nude photos leaked. "He placed the moral blame for that crime squarely on the victims rather than the perpetrators." "The person applying to be in charge of shoring up trust in the internet so that Europeans do more business online, just blamed people whose personal data was accessed and spread without authorization," she wrote in a blog post. Julia Reda, a German politician with the Pirate Party, said the statement was "unbelievable."
Oettinger's words have not gone over well. The original round of pictures included Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, and subsequent leaks have included Rihanna and Gabrielle Union. More than 100 celebrities have been included in the leaks, which began showing up on the internet image-sharing board 4chan late in August. "Stupidity is something you can only partly save people from," Oettinger said. Günther Oettinger, who will start his position as EU digital chief in November, said the celebrities involved in a round of leaks were at least partly to blame. Celebrities caught up in the recent nude photo scandal were "dumb," the new digital economy and society commissioner of the EU claimed.
