There is an underlying assumption that a given image has a certain property. I don't think it does. I think the property is based on the user viewing it. That's why an innocent silly image proud parents may send to grandparents is at the same time an image that you don't want to be in the possession of someone with less innocent thoughts. It isn't that the image is right or wrong. It is that different people will see different things in the image, some good and others bad.
- dvtrn 8y agoYou keep saying 'property', do you mean 'propriety'or are you literally speaking of the ownership of images when uploaded to Facebook? Just asking if in the interest of other readers who come along because at first I couldn't grok the connection between how one feels about certain imagery and retaining ownership of one's uploads.
- thaumasiotes 8y agoYour parent comment is using 'property' in the second sense of the word ([QUALITY]) given here: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/property https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/property > a quality in a substance or material, especially one that means that it can be used in a particular way It's also sense 1a given here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/property https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/property > a quality or trait belonging and especially peculiar to an individual or thing The comment says that many people are assuming that a photograph has "the property of being pornographic", and this is a mistake in their thought. Ownership and propriety are not related to the comment in any way.
