In Uganda, sex-tapes will haunt you till eternity because the moment it hits the internet, it will be there till your grandchildren grows to see it, that’s why you need to be very cautious before even attempting to film a sex-tape, because the ridicule and taunting will daunt your image for a very long time not like in the states where people become famous for doing s3x tapes..
If it’s an agreement between the two of you to tape it and watch and if you’re ready to bear the consequences when it hits the internet and you’re brave enough to stand your grounds no matter how far it goes, then you can go ahead and record it, but if you cannot stand or not ready for the consequences when it hits the internet, then don’t try it at all, because the moment it’s recorded, either on a cell phone, laptop, iPad, camera, etc. there’s a high possibility of it hitting the internet even if it’s DELETED.
What we’ve noticed is that most women who are involved in sex-tapes are naive but same cannot be said of their male counterparts since you sometimes find them blocking or hiding their faces in the video, which means they are aware and knows what they plan to do with it. Some men are naive too who had no evil intention for the video but it ends on the internet anyway and sometimes they don’t even know how, that’s why this article aims to point out why it’s a bad idea to record it at all in the first place.
Because it clearly shows that most people do not understand how the internet works and thinks it’s safe. Security in the world of technology is not guaranteed and everything you’re being told about how secured it is, are all an illusion. If you’re on any social media network, you should know and accept it that, someone can monitor you 24/7 if you become their point of interest.
We’ve seen a lot of people being arrested through their facebook account and all that. And when sex-tapes hit the internet, you find girls commenting like, “I will never allow any man video me”, Yes! you won’t if he tells you, what if he doesn’t, how do you prevent it. Cameras are hidden everyday.
Like I stated, it travels like how a river flows and so just a like river, if someone is sitting at the bank of a river and you drop a shoe in the river from one point and he’s sitting at the middle and the shoe is passing, with a stick or with the aid of any tool, they can retrieve the shoe as it passes and can decide to use it for whatever they want and after using can decide to throw it back into the river or throw it away.
When they throw it back into the river, it can still get to it’s destination but by then the hacker has already retrieved any information on it and can make a copy. If he doesn’t throw it back into the river, that means it will not get to it’s destination, that’s why sometimes someone sends you something and it never gets to you and you tell them to resend.
So Why are we saying all this? This means anytime you send nude pictures of yourself to your boyfriend, even through a private line, sorry it’s in the public already. Any good hacker can dip in and take that picture and use it for whatever they want. So never take nude pictures of yourself not to talk of sending it someone.
Secondly, you should know that technology has advanced so much to the extent that there are all types of softwares for almost everything. Even if you delete or format your harddrive, pendrive, memory chip etc. the information can still be retrieved. The moment it hits the drive, there’s no turning back and so if you sell your phone or whatever gadget you used for the recording and even if you deleted all the files or even formatted it, there are softwares that can be used to retrieve all lost files.
Sometimes when they are retrieved, some of it seems broken, which means if it’s a video, it appears distorted but don’t be happy about that, there’s a software for that too, which can correct it and make it very clear. Don’t ever think you can store your videos in a folder and password it and nobody can get to it, it’s easy to retrieve your password, there’s something known as decrypting.
So now the question remains, how do you avoid being sextaped, don’t record it at all, that’s the only safest way to avoid it, there’s nothing fun about it, you don’t gain anything. Don’t ever send any videos or nude pictures of yourself to anybody even if he’s your husband, someone can retrieve it.
But in the case of the ladies, men can be cunning and can hide cameras or mobile devices in obscure places to record what you do. What we can say is, be observant, if you ready want to have sex with him, take your time and scrutinize the room especially from the angle he wants to make love to you because recording devices are placed at angles that can record everything clearly.
If he informs you he wants you to record it so you delete it later, just say NO! because these days, even a simple cloud software such as Dropbox can be configured to store videos and pictures directly to the cloud drive the moment the picture is taken or video is recorded, this means when a picture is taken, a copy goes to the dropbox software which is a drive sitting somewhere and not on the device being used, a copy remains on the device being used and so even if he gives you the drive to delete it yourself, he can still go to retrieve the copy on the cloud drive.
Notwithstanding, he can still retrieve the deleted file by using a software, no matter the circumstances, you’re not safe, so just be vigilant, also if you about having sex and the laptop is on, probably playing music or with a movie on and placed opposite where the ‘action’ is about to take place, that’s suspicious.
Watch out because he could be recording everything through the webcam by minimizing the video, to prevent it just shut down the laptop, you can also observe by looking at the webcam on the laptop, there’s always a red light on beside the camera when it’s recording.
