Don't be an Edison Chen. Play Safe!

Playing Safe!!!

This is not about fucking safely to avoid STD. I think everyone here knows that already. It's about computer safety.

All you bros and sis' here are all dirty minded and think of nothing but sex, sex and more sex. Else you won't be here in SBF.

And I bet your PC is full of pornography (mine is). Pictures and videos - downloaded stuff and your own home made stuff. In the countries we live in - anywhere in South East Asia, all these are illegal. Even naked pictures or videos of yourself and your willing partner or spouse are illegal. Of course it doesn't make any sense. How can having pictures or videos of yourself be illegal? Unfortunately, it is. And if you're caught with it, the penalties are pretty severe.

To avoid a case of Edison Chen or Ariel Peterporn/Cut Tari, I would recommend all bros and sis' to use file encryption. Free open-source encryption tools like TrueCrypt can keep you out of jail. You can never know when you might lose your notebook or someone access your PC without your knowledge.

If you have pictures or videos in your handphone, be really careful. It is very easy to lose your handphone. If you have a Windows Mobile phone, you can use Pocket WinRar and rar your files and lock it with a password. At least, there is some security to stop people who picks up your phone and publish your sex videos on the Internet.

So, play safe bros and sisters.

i second that.

is this an advertisement?

This is not an ad lah. You can use any other encryption tools. Just make sure that your porn is not exposed.

I just give Truecrypt as an example as that's what I'm using.

Yup, totally agree with bro digdug. That is why iPhone have the self destruction (erase mode) when you enter three times password wrongly (if your kids at home any how press, sorry liao).

Not only PC and Notebook, even your external hard disk get crashed and although it still under warranty, you better think twice before send in for servicing, you never know whether these people will leak out "your" precious photo or video, worse if you are one of the main character.

Thanks for the advice. Technology scares me.

It is an offence in Singapore to keep porn anywhere including PCs.

In theory, if somebody tip off police and police go your house and search your laptop and find porn, you will be charged in possession of obscene materials. This is despite not distributing around.

Private or not, if you offend somebody and he/she just tip police off, police will just go your house. So do not offend your ex-gfs who knows you watched and keep porn.

This is the urban legend I heard.
