What on earth are you on. My picture is mine. Not the person who took the picture. I hate family members who think they're somehow entitled to me and my body

What on earth are you on.
My picture is mine. Not the person who took the picture.
I hate family members who think they're somehow entitled to me and my body and my face. Like no. I will be the person deciding what I'm comfortable with.
- gnicholas 6y agoSo do you just have a problem with people posting photos of you on social media, or even just having photos with you in them for their own memories? It seems like your critique would apply equally to both.
- rootlocus 6y agoDo you go around projecting your memories on a public display accessible to anyone, any system, any algorithm, any time, possibly forever?
- andromeduck 6y agoNot personally but some people do and it's their right to do so. It's basic right of expression.
- aaomidi 6y agoTheir memories die with them. Social media doesn't. I'm glad to see EU taking the necessary steps here.
- topkai22 6y agoIn the US and presumably many other jurisdictions, that's not true. The owner of the copyright of the photograph is the one who took it, not the subject of the photograph, baring pre-existing contract arrangements. There are limits, but generally speaking if a photograph of an individual is taken in a public space it is owned by the photographer. This is the legal regime that enables a lot of journalism, good and bad.
- aaomidi 6y agoAnd now we see a change in the legal definition per GDPR.
- topkai22 6y agoGDPR doesn't affect the legal definition in the US or other non party jurisdictions. It has a pratical effect because few businesses or hosting platforms can avoid doing business in the EU, but the copyright regime in the US remains the same.
- aaomidi 6y agoSure, and now you see how laws actually impact people outside of their borders. The US has been the driving force behind this before, times have changed.
