AirDropping is the latest horrifying subway trend
-
Given the way this process works I'm thinking all the people jumping on the "Why ever would you hit the accept button, these people are so stupid." bandwagon are likely on the wrong track. Since you see the picture regardless of choice due to the preview I can only imagine that victims are hitting accept to preserve some evidence of what is happening.
They probably should be more careful about their settings but it doesn't make the perpetrators any less garbage.

@ndc Do you get a preview of a note?
“iPhone 1 would like to share a note with you,” read the note sent at 6:51 p.m. She hit “Accept” and was horrified by what she saw. “It was just a huge close-up picture of a disgusting penis,” said Carlson, of Bushwick, Brooklyn. The message was titled “Straw” and was sent by an anonymous stranger.

The appropriate action there is to screenshot the request. There is no paper trail after the fact to know how you acquired the picture that is now in your camera roll.

@aaronstuder
Perhaps not, was basing on screenshots posted by @JaredBusch . Which I suppose is possibly showing a different process than was discussed in article.

There is no different process. If you send a picture, that is how it works.

But they send a note, not a picture....

I kind of didn't think so but I've not made much use of AirDrop so giving @aaronstuder the benefit of the doubt as he was questioning it.

If you share a note, it does auto open the note after you accept.
But this is still 100% on the dumb user that click accept to a random message on the subway.

LOL - well your persistence paid off. It was a note, and notes don't have previews... So yeah.. stupid user, but yes - sender is still piece of shit.

The sender being a piece of shit or not is not relevant.
The stupid fucking user is at fault for accepting something from a stranger.
FFS. Even my 7yo knows "Dont' talk to strangers"

And don't advertise that you are interesting in talking to strangers. This is more than accepting an anonymous note. She had to enable getting anonymous notes first.

Very much so. But she did supposedly have it set to everyone for picture sharing in the office.
Potentially, there is a reason not to have everyone in the office know her phone number and vice versa to be able to use contacts only.

Could have been worse... could have contained sometime even more terrible - really she is lucky that a penis is all see had to see.

"Supposedly". But that was for doing exactly this, but in an office. Randomly pushing things of dubious nature peer to peer rather than through centralized means. I see this as the same as her saying "I was into this sort of thing already, and then I got to enjoy it on the train, too."

really? I don't see it like that at all - but then again, that's why I think they need to have a function that allows the system to auto disable everyone access after xyz timeframe.
Google location sharing does this. If you share your location with someone, after 4 days Google will email you a reminder that you are still sharing with them. At the point, you can ignore it and leave it on, or do whatever you like. But I think the reminder is a good thing.

She has a personal, random, anonymous sharing system turned on for the office? There is no office use case for this, this is purely people sharing random personal pics or files in a building. Clearly she is into AirDropping from people she doesn't know [well] already. She then carried this into her non-work life and then decided, when a picture came in, to accept it. There are layers of protections here. She clearly doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Of course she doesn't. She failed at every layer, doesn't mean my suggestion is any less valuable.
