We’re not talking about copyright, though - we’re taking about privacy rights, and - even if we discard compelling fair use arguments - everyone who uses Facebook gives them a license to distribute the photos they upload to the site to others for various reasons. Copyright law doesn’t really come into play, and of course much data involved here isn’t even copyrightable.
- basch 7y agoits an analogy, im not bringing up copyright law as something that impacts the situation, its an illustration of a similar concept. Some countries treat photography as copyright as the priority, others let privacy law take precedent.
