Oh for fucks sakes. We have people who were wrongly imprisoned and spent decades in jail and they get a couple of hundred Gs and this lady is awarded $1.2B because someone saw her hoo-ha. We really have fucked up morals. The award amount is so obnoxious that I'm almost glad she'll never see a dime of it. This is just a mockery of justice.

Posting naked pictures without consent and getting punished for it is "a mockery of justice"?
What would you propose to do with the guy? Wiggle your finger in his face?
Also, why do you intentionally downplay what happened as "someone saw her hoo-ha"? Is that really what you think happened? What are you hoping to achieve with this misrepresentation? Did you post revenge porn of someone?
You are almost glad she won't get any kind of compensation for what she has to endure?
I am just repeating this because I have still hope that you maybe correct your thinking when you are already talking about morals and all.
As a german, I always find amusing when americans are scared of not being able to find a job because they have nude photos online. Meanwhile I have practically seen all of my colleagues/family naked either at the job showers, sauna or nudist parks and beaches.
German here too. I have no idea why, but I'd find that so incredibly weird. I guess I grew up in a very prude family. I'd love to be more open towards nudity because why the fuck not, there's nothing inherently sexual or weird about naked people, but I really struggle with that
