Wait before you believe a headline that says “Kaitlin Collins’ most private bikini photos,” because that phrase is designed to trick you into thinking you’re about to see something secret or forbidden, and that’s the whole trap. I’m not here to share private photos of Kaitlin Collins or anyone else—

if something is truly private, it should stay private, period—but the internet loves using the word “private” even when it isn’t true because it creates drama, clicks, and a fake feeling of “I found something.” Most of these posts follow the same patterns: a normal public beach photo repackaged with a loud caption, a completely different person labeled with her name for attention, or an edited image made to look more shocking than it really is, none of which is fair to her or honest to viewers. These headlines also try to make privacy seem like it doesn’t matter, even though being a public figure doesn’t mean every part of someone’s life is public property, and using her name this way is about traffic, not truth.
