Do you consider these before sending your snap?

1. First things first, SAY NO to your pretty face when you are taking nudes. Follow the rules, crop out the face from the photo you snapped and hide your identity.
2. Using end to end encrypted apps and services where the images are not misused inappropriately. Even some apps allow restrictions on screenshots and give us notifications about the screenshot.
3. Always go incognito and don’t let your images be saved in your browsing and mobile history or in the cloud. Be vigilant to check out all the options and explore the safest phone settings options while sexting. Even a simple option leads to devastating issues in future.
4. If you are not sure of the recipient or have doubts on his intention stop it right there. Always double check the to address or the contact to avoid ending up in the wrong hands.
5. If you are aware of the EXIF data attached to every image and can include GEO location and other mobile information. So try to remove the file properties before you send it to the stranger.

Though nothing is fool proof method when it comes to technology, but adhere to the precautions from your end to start with rather than turning it into a regretful moment later. We are not walking the path of any judgement here just being self aware of the environment everyone indulges.

Before we close the shutter, capturing your focus on the familiar Titanic scenario where in 1912 a girl in a romantic encounter gone bare to sketch her naked body, locks the drawing in a secured safe in a boat that sinks and after 84 years somehow the nude still ends up in the hands of the media.

People tend to undress our mind and body online for benefits. Not all thoughts are too naked so lets strip the ignorance before we strip ourself.
