A friend of mine had the Abmahnung thing happen to her. Accidentally included a photo without permission, in a batch of photos she otherwise had permission for, in a portfolio of architectural work. After a few years she got a claim for a couple grand. She was lucky in that the request came from the actual photographer, so she was able to negotiate a “fair” settlement of about 400€ IIRC, this was over 10 years ago. Thing is though, she at least understood she was in the wrong. Try explaining to the average Instagram celebrity that every single post is in fact a copy and you don’t automatically have permission to copy something just because you saw it on the internet. I guess Facebook’s legal department just bats that stuff away or something.
