Internet slang for the 2014 celebrity photo leak scandal, often called Celebgate, where private images of dozens of celebrities were stolen via iCloud breaches and posted online without consent. The name blends 'fap' (internet slang for masturbation) with '-ening' as a suffix. While it circulated widely online, it's a term rooted in a serious privacy violation — a reminder that 'internet culture' events can have real victims.
The Fappening was a turning point in how seriously people started treating cloud security and digital privacy.
