By nl 2021-08-204:18 There's a bunch of people on this thread saying "why on earth would people take photos of themselves naked".
People do this all the time and if you don't then you are probably in the minority. 49% of US phone users send sexually explicit photos - which implies even more are taking the pics and not sending them.
The moralising about "oh no it will leak" is just something people in tech who have never done this worry about. Most people take neck down pics, try to hide identifying marks, using Snapchat disappearing pics (or similar) and don't care too much if that happens to leak.

You guys focus on her taking nudes, but what about that "discovery" thing? Maybe it's obvious in some regions, but what is going on here? Why was a person forced to hand over their personal communication with no exceptions?
That is super-bizarre. Is that part of a legal investigation of authorities, or a company thing? Why did she even agreed?
By Volundr 2021-08-2014:35 Discovery is a process in a legal proceeding. Say I think your providing me components that don't meet the spec called for by a contract. When I sue, at a certain point we reach the discovery phase, where you can be required to turn over all your communication about sourcing these materials as well as all communication about me. These orders are generally pretty broad, and the penalty for failing to disclose something (or worse) destroying evidence is high, hence why for example they wouldn't let her delete the pictures.
As usual the best advice in a situation like this is get your own lawyer.
By snowwrestler 2021-08-204:014 reply You’re not allowed to delete things during discovery. This is not an Apple thing, this is U.S. court system thing.
By bmitc 2021-08-204:44 It is an Apple thing because it’s an Apple policy that caused this situation in the first place.
By ARandomerDude 2021-08-204:31 This situation gives a whole new meaning to the term "discovery."
