Abstract
Several studies demonstrate that similar privacy violations involving private, nude photos and prurient peeping are considered less blameworthy when they occur over the internet rather than in person or with physically printed photos. Results suggest factors that contribute to this effect, including a lack of consensus over appropriate Internet conduct.
