No one is saying it's not legal. Most people here understand what libel is and what freedom of expression is. The point is that it's still a bit weird, creepy

The point is that it's still a bit weird, creepy and unpleasant. This man can continue doing it, and I can continue thinking he's quite damaged.

I'm pretty much indifferent to the whole thing, but I still enjoyed the interview. Notice that the man may be "quite damaged", but still the first thing that he does is ask the interviewer if she was offended by her public photos being there, and offering to delete them.
- monkey_monkey 5y agoEnjoying the interview is utterly orthogonal to the point you originally made. > "ask the interviewer if she was offended by her public photos being there, and offering to delete them." You may see that as being polite, I see that as just another creepy power play, where he's now implying he has control over her pics.
- compiler-guy 5y agoHe didn’t offer to delete them. He offered “not to do it again.” Which means she is stuck.
- freewilly1040 5y agoThe fact that the asking bit comes after the pictures have already been repurposed is the entire point. If he would have asked beforehand and gotten permission no one would care.
