I'm not sure what your argument is… yeah, sure, it happens, in a lot of cases as the person in the photo you might not even know. And even if you do find out, a lot of people don't care — as long as they're not ridiculed. The petapixel post talks about exploiting people for views on social media, and you will get sued for that in D/A/CH. It's a bit like speeding. A lot of people, if not a majority, drives at 5% to 10% above the speed limit. Sometimes they get a (low-end) ticket. If you speed significantly, you likely still get away with it, but only for some limited time, and then (in most countries) you start racking up serious issues. None of this means that we should remove speed limits, stop enforcing them, or that they're somehow not helpful. It just means we're humans making rules for ourselves so we can live with each other, and things are usually not black and white.
