Who knows, I haven't searched for unbiased data to be honest

But they can be more judicious with whom they share contact details, and use the block button. They are not forced to be the recipient of any message.

Do you think the only solution is for a government backdoor?

Yeah, the government's idea is moronic. But making it the victims' responsibility ("don't share your number indiscriminately") is depressing too. How about make it easier to prosecute the unsolicited sending. How about educating people not to be fuckwits..

Yeah prosecution makes lives more difficult, it's rife for abuse (the recipient could fake evidence, the sender could claim he was hacked/his friend took his unlocked phone..)..

I bet you also want people to be able to leave their front door open all day and night and be protected from any theft by the government. It would be victim blaming to tell people to lock their doors right

It's black and white. No room for rational debate.

No idea why an opinion depresses you. Are you ok?

With your sort of mentality I'm surprised you're comfortable mentioning your sexuality... You know there's a lot of homophobes around, no? And they're just getting more empowered under Trump, Farage, etc...

To give you your own advice, I'd suggest being more quiet about it, you never know if people around you have a hatred of gays.

Cheap, cheap shot.

I'm well aware and take personal responsibility for my actions and words. I don't need the government protecting the words I share online

You know what else has increased homophobia? Governments importing cultures which hate homophobia. Thanks for that

No, I don't. But does the government think the only solution is a backdoor? Yes.

They are the ones in power, not you & I.

Wait, is sexting between couples not a thing anymore?
