One example of a photo revealing more than was expected is when the Washington Post [https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/09/tsa_master_keys.html posted a picture of the TSA master keys]. The photo was detailed enough that people were able to create and 3D print their own working keys. | One example of a photo revealing more than was expected is when the Washington Post [https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/09/tsa_master_keys.html posted a picture of the TSA master keys].

With [[Stick figure|xkcd's stick figures]] it's usually impossible to tell if they are clothed or naked, but now that we know Cueball is naked in this one it may make this strip {{w|NSFW}}. Thus consider yourself warned. The nakedness of xkcd stick figures have been mentioned before – for instance, in the third strip of [[566: Matrix Revisited]], and in [[864: Flying Cars]] where Megan is pictured topless. | With [[Stick figure|xkcd's stick figures]] it's usually impossible to tell if they are clothed or naked, but now that we know Cueball is naked in this one it may make this strip {{w|NSFW}}.

And when they then fall out of love it might be shared on-line, which although illegal happens a lot, and cause harm to both the victim, and the offender, who often will be too young or inexperienced to realize they can get in jail for this as it can be considered child pornography if the nude person is underage. |
