Grabbing images of women from social media, and aggregating them without their consent, is not necessarily illegal, but it's certainly exploitative and creepy.

- wutbrodo 5y agoThis is just restating the question. "Exploitative and creepy" doesn't have a whole lot of semantic content beyond "wrong". I took a whack at articulating _why_ it's wrong while not quite fitting a clear definition of malfeasance here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27632365 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27632365
- willcipriano 5y agoThe pictures are one thing and bad enough. Including location and links to profiles could make you a party to stalking or worse, and that is quite unethical.
- fidesomnes 5y agoSo gathering pictures on the internet is exploitive and creepy in your opinion. That is quite a leap of faith and I'll take your word that you are not concern trolling but I don't know where you have been the last 30-40 years.
