Tell Twitter, tumblr and facebook to stop Creepshots.

It is meaningful that in a world full of free porn, some men enjoy pictures taken without women's consent.

They seem to be gone from facebook, for the moment, but they are still on tumblr and Twitter, and have resurfaced on Reddit, disguised by calling it a 'style watch' or 'fashion watch'...

Anyway, please sign and share.

No matter the medium, creeps will use it to be creepy.

I wonder how long after telephones were invented that creeps started in with the heavy breathing.

This is disappointing. I don't know how long creepshots has been on tumblr, I wonder if it has something to do with the recent purchase by yahoo? They made a point to reassure everyone that the x-rated stuff that had been on tumblr would not changed as a result of the takeover. Conan O'Brien made a good joke about that: he said that millions of people who had never heard of tumblr had just gone there to check it out. Maybe that's when creepshots started?
