This to me is the only argument about this image that stands to any scrutiny.
I happen to believe, though, that any and all information you release to the public is de facto no longer under anyone's control. This is the natural state of things and cannot be stopped, so a global optimum can only be reached in acknowledging this fact. Instead we create legal and bureaucratic fictions to try to manage and eliminate it, which only serves to disrupt and not to protect at all. I view the status quo on this (from this image to copyright) as counterproductive.
- sshine 2y agoAs far as I understand, she is not fighting a legal battle to outlaw the photograph. An organisation of intellectuals, such as the IEEE, can simply honour a request. The diversity and inclusion argument: this tradition bears some similarity to locker room nudes, which don’t encourage equal participation between genders. The flipped scenario of posting a cropped Hasselhoff nude is not symmetrical. It sexualises the basic conversation about image algorithms, which is somewhat (but not entirely) besides the point. It made better sense when it was a closed group of mostly men.
