Ash-Pikachu 51,270 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Divided opinions regarding the repair man who informed about the KKT conversation It can be accepted because it's for public interest vs Leaking private information is still a crime, he needs to be punished instiz -Place yourself in his shoes.. Just imagine how raged was he to read the conversation that he leaked it to the public.. -That is not considered as private information. They're sexual offenders.. -I wouldn't say what he did was great, I mean.. He took a look at somebody else's phone without any permission.. -Honestly speaking, shouldn't he be punished for that..? -What if the conversation that he leaked wasn't a celebrity's but just a commoner's..? Do you guys still think that's it could be accepted..? -I'm sure he already thought about it before leaking it.. He knew it's going to be a huge news.. -So we have to respect sexual offenders' private life too now..? -Well, imagine if you go to get your phone fixed but the repair man take a look at your KKT instead.. Wouldn't that get you goosebumps..? -If I were the victim, I would be very grateful for that repair man.. But still, it's kind of scary to think that he took a look at somebody else's phone.. -I don't think I can just leave my phone to get repaired in peace now.. I mean, they can take a look at my private information.. -I think he just took a look at it because it was a celebrity's phone.. -What's wrong is still wrong no matter what.. -But isn't it given for him to report the whole conversation..?

PanShip 3,493 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I think the act of spying through a customers private phone should be punished. It is still a crime and it could be someone else's phone... him leaking the Information has a good cause at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentasGlittery EyeMakeup 36,570 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Tbh, what he did (look into someone's phone because they are a celebrity) is wrong, but what he did with what he found is also right? He is a criminal with morals. Reminds me of those robbers who found so much child porn in the computer of the person they were robbing and ended up calling the police on him.

ducklicker 254 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 '-what's wrong is still wrong no matter what...' yeah i'm sure you'd think the same if your bf/gf was the one passing around videos of you to their friends. if someone witnesses a crime they should be encourage to report it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASS 7,209 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 What he did was a crime but it revealed more crimes so like it's not a black and white situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soilei 4,812 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I don't know how the law works when you "break the law for better good"... but i don't think they should be punished because it takes alot of balls to expose smth like that, (knowing you will be exposing yourself aswell) but i dont think the person "randomly" just looks at phones info, i think they might have heard "a whisper" to check. thats just my feeling ....

Forgottenly 1,881 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 He might have just seen it while repairing and then felt like he had to do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valeriekmy96 3,375 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Really easy for them to say he was wrong without considering the consequences for not revealing the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishtarmy 144 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 No I mean wasn't JJY said his phone was broken so the the police can't find the prove in 2016? If JJY repaired his phone during/after this time, didn't the repair man should know about his scandal then? And then BAM the repair man got his golden phone. But yeah, still not great of him to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonz 5,379 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 He should still punished with reduced sentence IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freya 7,202 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 It should be case by case ig. I mean imagine if some repair person had your phone and went through it to see if you were careless enough to leave nudes on there. Or had your partner's nudes on there. That kind of thing isn't exclusive to celebrities. I shudder at the thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallah 8,441 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 it's totally common for repair people to have to look at data when repairing devices. in some cases they may even require you to sign a disclaimer. also, if you punish people for revealing crimes, then you totally disincentivize people from reporting crimes when they do see it, because they're afraid of repercussions.

Nip&Hip 2,601 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I don't think he should be punished but honestly I'd wipe my phone clean befor sending it to repairs. On the other hand, I'm glad for what he did overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever their intention at first, they're heroes in the end. Police can do shit about this, journalists wouldn't know anything without whistleblowers or people who send in tips.

roeleek 15 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 A law should be introduced to protect whistleblowers because that’s what he is. A law should be introduced to protect whistleblowers because that’s what he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittymommy 3,334 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I don't care. It's for the greater good. The phone repair man did the public a service. Would they say the same if their loved ones being one of the victims of those sex crazed maniacs? If i don't have anything to hide why would i be afraid. The phone repair man can go through my chat history, there are nothing of interest i can assure you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_diamond 9,491 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I think that in this case, he did the right thing. Sure it's violation of privacy, but if this wasn't discovered, what would have happened? If people punish the ones that bring in important evidence, do you think they will be willing to give information again? This is why the ones that give substantial evidence to the police and help to find the big fish in the case are given a lighter sentence. Because without them, nothing would have been discovered.
