> you can't retrospectively wish against it She absolutely can. And we, collectively, can choose to respect that wish by using a different test image in future. And why not? It's no real burden to make the change.

I agree, being a decent person is an active choice we should all strive for. The burden here is that a number of people are so afraid of being "woke" that they'd rather double down being scummy than just find a different jpeg. If it was their daughter I'm sure they'd have a different opinion

  > If it was their daughter I'm sure they'd have a different opinion Are we back in the 60s where a father has to sign off on the daughters job application? We are talking about a woman who willingly signed up for a playboy photoshoot, had been aware of the image being used and circulated for decades with no issues.

    > Are we back in the 60s where a father has to sign off on the daughters job application Strawnan bs. No one advocated anything like that. > We are talking about a woman who willingly signed up for a playboy photoshoo Yep. And decades later asked it to not be used anymore. You can waste as much time with long winded arguments as you want. Or you could just be decent and not use the image. Your call.

It's unreasonable, by principal. Just like how beyonce tried to get her ugly image removed from the internet.

  I mean, I don't think Beyoncé should have (or does have) any legal recourse in that kind of situation, but publishing unflattering photos of people just to make fun of how they look is a fairly crappy thing to do. The decent thing to do in that situation would be to refrain from publishing the image unless there were public interest grounds for doing so.

    The whole dynamic of this discussion is weird. There's a bunch of people coming up with long winded arguments, not-really-relevant examples and other guff. And there's a bunch of us repeatedly saying "why not just be decent?"
