Given the way this process works I'm thinking all the people jumping on the "Why ever would you hit the accept button, these people are so stupid." bandwagon are likely on the wrong track. Since you see the picture regardless of choice due to the preview I can only imagine that victims are hitting accept to preserve some evidence of what is happening.
They probably should be more careful about their settings but it doesn't make the perpetrators any less garbage.
LOL - well your persistence paid off. It was a note, and notes don't have previews... So yeah.. stupid user, but yes - sender is still piece of shit.
The sender being a piece of shit or not is not relevant.
The stupid fucking user is at fault for accepting something from a stranger.
FFS. Even my 7yo knows "Dont' talk to strangers"
And don't advertise that you are interesting in talking to strangers. This is more than accepting an anonymous note. She had to enable getting anonymous notes first.
Very much so. But she did supposedly have it set to everyone for picture sharing in the office.
Potentially, there is a reason not to have everyone in the office know her phone number and vice versa to be able to use contacts only.
"Supposedly". But that was for doing exactly this, but in an office. Randomly pushing things of dubious nature peer to peer rather than through centralized means. I see this as the same as her saying "I was into this sort of thing already, and then I got to enjoy it on the train, too."
really? I don't see it like that at all - but then again, that's why I think they need to have a function that allows the system to auto disable everyone access after xyz timeframe.
She has a personal, random, anonymous sharing system turned on for the office? There is no office use case for this, this is purely people sharing random personal pics or files in a building. Clearly she is into AirDropping from people she doesn't know [well] already. She then carried this into her non-work life and then decided, when a picture came in, to accept it. There are layers of protections here. She clearly doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Of course she doesn't. She failed at every layer, doesn't mean my suggestion is any less valuable.
Why, she would have just disabled that. She clearly WANTED to see what the picture was. So giving her yet another way to not do that would have changed nothing.

That's my point. She went dramatically out of her way to invite and enable this exact scenario. Then took that opportunity to get publicity. There is one and only one perpetrator here.

Oh it's a fine idea to have, but doesn't address the situation going on. Just dont' turn it on (what a dumb idea) and if you leave it on, don't accept things. It's already so beyond secure that anything more is just silly.

No she didn't. She went out of her way to enable it for the few less than friends people who were in her office to share photos with. Had she understood - though about it, remember, etc, she likely would have turned the feature off after the encounter that prompted her to turn it on in the first place.

I think we can safely say that this is not true. Her behaviour clearly shows that when confronted with a reminder that it was left on, she chose to use that and seize the opportunity to get in the limelight. If you were correct, she would not have done this.

We certainly know enough of the chain of events unless she was lying.

Which is reasonable, it's entirely possible that she made up the work bit completely to cover why she had the app set up that way.

Given the way this process works I'm thinking all the people jumping on the "Why ever would you hit the accept button, these people are so stupid." bandwagon are likely on the wrong track. Since you see the picture regardless of choice due to the preview I can only imagine that victims are hitting accept to preserve some evidence of what is happening.
They probably should be more careful about their settings but it doesn't make the perpetrators any less garbage.
LOL - well your persistence paid off. It was a note, and notes don't have previews... So yeah.. stupid user, but yes - sender is still piece of shit.
The sender being a piece of shit or not is not relevant.
The stupid fucking user is at fault for accepting something from a stranger.
FFS. Even my 7yo knows "Dont' talk to strangers"
And don't advertise that you are interesting in talking to strangers. This is more than accepting an anonymous note. She had to enable getting anonymous notes first.
Very much so. But she did supposedly have it set to everyone for picture sharing in the office.
Potentially, there is a reason not to have everyone in the office know her phone number and vice versa to be able to use contacts only.
"Supposedly". But that was for doing exactly this, but in an office. Randomly pushing things of dubious nature peer to peer rather than through centralized means. I see this as the same as her saying "I was into this sort of thing already, and then I got to enjoy it on the train, too."
really? I don't see it like that at all - but then again, that's why I think they need to have a function that allows the system to auto disable everyone access after xyz timeframe.
She has a personal, random, anonymous sharing system turned on for the office? There is no office use case for this, this is purely people sharing random personal pics or files in a building. Clearly she is into AirDropping from people she doesn't know [well] already. She then carried this into her non-work life and then decided, when a picture came in, to accept it. There are layers of protections here. She clearly doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Of course she doesn't. She failed at every layer, doesn't mean my suggestion is any less valuable.
Why, she would have just disabled that. She clearly WANTED to see what the picture was. So giving her yet another way to not do that would have changed nothing.
LOL - You're right Scott - she wanted to see Dick picks, and then she wanted to go on TV and bitch about it
That's my point. She went dramatically out of her way to invite and enable this exact scenario. Then took that opportunity to get publicity. There is one and only one perpetrator here.
No she didn't. She went out of her way to enable it for the few less than friends people who were in her office to share photos with. Had she understood - though about it, remember, etc, she likely would have turned the feature off after the encounter that prompted her to turn it on in the first place.
I think we can safely say that this is not true. Her behaviour clearly shows that when confronted with a reminder that it was left on, she chose to use that and seize the opportunity to get in the limelight. If you were correct, she would not have done this.
Right, so you know the full sequence of events that led to that article being published?
We certainly know enough of the chain of events unless she was lying.
There are an awful lot of ways to go from this thing happened, to being in an article about it having happened. Not all of them include hounding the paper to write and publish it.

No one said hound, I don't think. Paper is looking for click bait to publish. Woman is looking for her ten seconds of fame. Match made in heaven.

I find it interesting that Scott basically thinks the only legitimate use of AirDrop (or SnapChat) is porn.
From what I'm gathering, Scott is claiming that the woman in the article turned on AirDrop so random people at her work (according to the article) could drop her porn.
Of course I offered up an alternative - I used a family reunion. You might be at a gathering and someone might have pictures/files, etc that you want. Assuming you don't have and don't really want all of those people in your contacts list (we all have that one family member we avoid), using AirDrop could quickly allow files to be shared while providing zero personal data.
I could easily see this in use at my office as well. People might want to share a picture of the solar eclipse, but they don't have everyone in their contacts - AirDrop to the rescue.
Now - Scott may absolutely be correct and the woman in the article might really be only trolling for porn, but clearly there are more than just porn related reasons to have and use the everyone mode.
Of course - all that said - the fact that she accepted it while on a train while NOT expecting anything to be sent to her - well, that's just a showing of complete lack of security/common sense, and she can only blame herself for that.

As opposed to normal people who completely think the only use is porn

I've never been to an office without email before. Very odd scenario.

So you are requiring that people email an image from their phone to their work email and then email that image out to the people in question?
Fuck that.
Just because you only want porn does not mean the rest of us do.
I use Air Drop frequently when sharing pictures with friends and family.

Dash left out the anonymous public bit. I was very clear when talking to him that the context was that it was NOT friends and family.

No he did not. He specifically stated send to others who are not in their contacts. While not anonymous, it is requiring the setting be everyone.
Which as I showed earlier in this thread mine is also set to everyone but no one sends me dick pics except @RojoLoco
