艾瑪·沃森拒對裸照威脅保持緘默大綱
Actress Emma Watson has refused to be silenced by online trolls threatening to leak nude photos of her following her powerful speech on gender equality at the UN last week.
Watson’s plea for men to join the fight for equal rights for women has sparked a flood of pledges across the world, including from fellow celebrities and politicians.
"I hope we can all finally change laws and mentalities in order to establish what is nothing more than common sense," Watson posted on her Twitter account on Tuesday.
Watson, 24, who rose to fame as Hermione in the Harry Potter movies, gave her first major speech as a United Nations Women's Goodwill Ambassador in New York on Saturday, launching the "HeForShe" campaign to unite men and women for gender equality.
The initiative urges men to join the fight against violence and discrimination of women within days more than 70,000 men and boys had signed online pledges, according to the HeForShe online active map on the campaign's website.
The target is to mobilise one billion men and boys over 12 months with an online map showing exactly where men sign up.
However, Watson’s speech appears to have angered trolls on 4chan's b board who are now seeking retribution in the form of a smear campaign.
Setting up a countdown website that they have called EmmaYouAreNext, forum members have threatened to release nude photos of Watson.
They are also attempting to get #RIPEmmaWatson trending on Twitter and are posting photoshopped pictures of news sites suggesting that Watson has died.
The very basic Photoshopped photos they have produced already suggest that any nude photos would be similar crude fakes.
Earlier this month Ms Watson came to the defence of her friend Ms Lawrence after dozens of images showing the Hunger Games actress in various states of undress were leaked on 4Chan.
The actress tweeted : “Even worse than seeing women's privacy violated on social media is reading the accompanying comments that show such a lack of empathy.
More than 100 celebrities were affected by the scandal last month after an unidentified hacker stole explicit images and videos from Apple's iCloud service.
Apple said it was "outraged" by the attack and encouraged users to update their accounts with a "strong" password and enable two-step verification.
As Watson’s campaign gained momentum, men from all walks of life pledged to "take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls".
British actor Simon Pegg, known recently for playing Scotty in the Star Trek movies, tweeted: "Husband to a wife, father to a daughter, son to a mother. You bet I'm on board," while singer Ellie Goulding tweeted: “Beautiful speech”.
Actress Kate Bosworth tweeted “powerful” while American actress Rashida Jones said: "The need for gender equality & the REAL meaning of feminism, beautifully articulated by @EmWatson: #HeForShe"
British singer Kate Nash tweeted: "Hey @EmWatson I applaud & thank you… taking the pledge today. Let's do this. #HeForShe"
Organisers credited Watson's powerful speech for having such an impact and driving up numbers signing to the campaign.
"We are all very humbled by the numbers. I have to point out that Emma has been a very instrumental part ... her speech was so powerful," Elizabeth Nyamayaro, senior advisor to U.N. Women's executive director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Watson, who was appointed to the U.N. role in July, received a standing ovation as she called on men and women to reclaim feminism for the benefit of all.
She disclosed how she became a feminist after being told she was too "bossy" for wanting to direct a play aged eight.
"But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word," said Watson, who studied at Britain's Oxford University and Brown University in the United States.
"I was appointed six months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop."
So far Watson has dedicated her humanitarian efforts as a Goodwill Ambassador to promote the empowerment of young women.
She has visited Bangladesh and Zambia to promote girls' education, and has recently returned from Uruguay.
Mlambo-Ngcuka, a UN under-secretary general said the engagement of young people was critical to advance gender equality in the 21st century.
"I am convinced that Emma's intellect and passion will enable UN Women's messages to reach the hearts and minds of young people globally," she said in a statement.女星艾瑪·沃森（Emma Watson）上週在聯合國發表一場關於性別平等的有力演說，隨後她表示拒絕對網絡黑手泄露她的裸照這種威脅保持緘默。
沃森懇求男性加入爲女性爭取權力平等的行動當中，她的請求在全世界引發了連鎖效應，其他名人以及政要們紛紛作出承諾。
沃森於9月18日在推特上說：“我希望我們的努力最終可以改變法律和人們的心理，將性別平等作爲一種常識確立下來。”
24歲的沃森因出演《哈利波特》系列電影中的赫敏而成名，9月21日她在紐約作爲聯合國婦女親善大使發表她的第一次重要演說，發起了一場名爲“HeForShe”（他爲她）的運動，該運動旨在將認同性別平等的男性和女性團結起來。
根據HeForShe運動網站的在線活動地圖顯示，自呼籲男性加入女性的反暴力和歧視運動以來，幾天之內，超過七萬男性在網絡上簽署誓言。
此項運動的目標是在12個月時間內動員十億男性加入，網站上的在線地圖可以很清楚地顯示有哪些地方的男性已經在網上簽字。
然而，沃森的演講顯然激怒了那些在4Chan網站論壇上發佈明星裸照的網絡黑客，他們正預謀通過誹謗進行報復。
他們創建一個名爲“艾瑪下一個是你”的倒計時網站，裸照來源論壇上的成員威脅將會發布沃森的裸照。
這批黑客們還企圖以#RIPEmmaWatson爲標籤在推特上散佈假新聞，並附上經PS修改過的照片發佈沃森已經死亡的消息。
他們所製作的這些基礎水平的PS照片早已表明那些所謂裸照都是以差不多的拙劣方式僞造出來的。
9月初，沃森爲她的朋友詹妮弗·勞倫斯(Lawrence)打抱不平，這位《飢餓遊戲》（Hunger Games）的女主此前被人泄露了大量各種姿態的不雅照片，發佈在4Chan論壇上。
艾瑪發推表示：“比起在社交媒體上侵犯女性的隱私，更令人感覺糟糕的是，看到接下來發布的那些缺乏同情心的評論。”
上個月，有匿名黑客從蘋果雲端系統盜取了大量不雅照片和視頻，引發了一場牽連100多位名人的豔照醜聞。
蘋果方面表示對黑客攻擊“相當憤怒”，並鼓勵用戶更新帳戶，設置更爲強大的密碼和啓用兩步確認程序。
隨着沃森發起的運動聲勢不斷壯大，各行各業的男性都宣誓“採取行動反對以各種形式針對婦女的暴力和歧視現象。”
因近日在星球大戰系列電影中扮演斯科蒂（Scotty）而出名的英國男演員西蒙·佩吉（Simon Pegg）發推表示：“作爲自己妻子的丈夫，自己女兒的父親還有母親的兒子。我已經準備好行動了。”與此同時歌手艾麗·高登（Ellie Goulding）在推特上稱讚:“說得好。”
在女星凱特·波茨沃斯（Kate Bosworth）在推特上“強力支持”的同時，美國女星拉什達·瓊斯（Rashida Jones）說道：“@EmWatson: #HeForShe將性別平等的要求和女權主義的真正內涵完美地結合在一起。”
英國歌手凱特·納什（Kate Nash）發表推文：“嗨@EmWatson，我爲你喝彩並感謝你所做的……我今天許下自己的誓言。讓我們一起努力吧。#HeForShe”
該運動的組織者已經肯定了沃森的有力演說影響如此之大，已經發動了相當多的人加入。
“我們都被這個數字驚到了。我必須指出艾瑪在這其中發揮很大作用……她的演講是如此富有感染力，”聯合國婦女組織的執行理事蘭博庫卡（Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka）的高級顧問Elizabeth Nyamayaro這樣告訴路透社。
沃森在七月的時候被任命爲聯合國人物，她爲所有人謀福祉，號召男性和女性重新認識女權主義的行爲贏得了衆人長久起立爲之鼓掌。
她還透露了自己是如何在八歲的時候因爲想導演戲劇卻被指“專橫”而成爲一個女權主義者的。
“但是我近來做的調查告訴我女權主義變成一個破不受歡迎的詞，”沃森說，她曾求學於英國牛津大學和美國布朗大學。
“我在六個月前得到任命，我越是談論女權主義就越發意識到爭取婦女權力的鬥爭總是被曲解成對男性的排斥。我知道我非常確定一件事情，那就是這種認識必須停止。”
迄今爲止，沃森作爲婦女親善大使一直致力於提升年輕女性的地位的人道主義事業。
她曾到訪孟加拉國（Bangladesh）和贊比亞（Zambia），幫助那裏的女孩接受教育，最近她剛從烏拉圭（Uruguay）回來。
聯合國副祕書長蘭博庫卡（Mlambo-Ngcuka）說年輕人的參與對於推動21世紀的性別平等至關重要。
“我非常確信艾瑪的才智和熱情能夠將聯合國婦女組織的信息傳遞至世界上所有年輕人的心靈和情感中。”她在一次聲明中這樣講道。
