The goal posts are exactly where they should be. None of these celebrities have killed themselves over stuff like this but ordinary people have. A first world problem that leads to death isn't a first world problem.

Thank you captain hindsight. However, in this case with the icloud, photos automatically get uploaded, so they didn't deliberately post them online.

So you define first world problems by how easy they are to solve? Well I guess that starvation is a first world problem then? Since it's so easy to cure. How about disease, they still have polio in some countries in africa, but its so simple and easy to prevent.
Whereas I judge problems by the outcomes. Starvation and disease are third world problems because they have serious consequences, mainly death.

Myself, I think it is indeed a first-world problem. I've already explained why. Additionally, having nudes of yourself circulated are no big deal. We all have the same tackle, after all.
Well then, I expect you to post nude pictures of yourself to all your friends and family. You are going to do it right? Since you don't care.

Well I disagree, I think starvation is a third world problem because of its effects, not how easily its fixed.
