Regardless of whether men are boorishly ignorant of a potential feminist angle to nude photography, this particular case seems to be clearly of personal photographs being privately shared.
It seems to me that if damages and compensation are a fallout, the sites (Instagram was mentioned, I think) ought to be liable unless some personal malfeasance (i.e. a disgruntled employee) is at play. This should be a red alert for anyone planning to collect personal data or links to personal data from the public. It should also be a golden opportunity for mapping a data-securing process as a blueprint, one part for service vendors, the other for users. We should discuss how to organise tech-centric workshops in Mumbai and other places, leading off from the initiative Praveen described. Specifics can be discussed offlist, naturally. I also have in mind a community venue in Bandra, where a nice talk can be organized on a weekend, for users.
