It seems to me that Bella Thorne ripped off a load of people by posting some images of her that she described as containing nudity for a hefty price and the said images turned out not to be nudes (NB I haven't seen the actual description she used, so I may be being unfair to her). The web site in question then imposed restrictions that affected everybody, not just Bella Thorne, although I have to say that the new limit still seems quite high in that respect.

No, I get the facts - that's not the issue. What I think about the story is different.

What do you think then?

To me it looks like another internet hard luck story where a lot of people have mortgaged their financial security to a commercial organisation that has the ability to turn off the source of income on a whim. I am torn between sympathy for the people who have been screwed over and saying “what did you expect?” 

I’ll leave the moralising about the nature of the content to Little Roses.

So when I wrote ' I honestly am not sure what to think about this story' - you think that will be dealt with by me answering 'what do you think then? '
