- bleuarff 2y agoYes, but the model has asked that the community stops using this image. It should be pretty easy to find an image that can serve as a standard, and that no one objects to.
- ashleyn 2y agoThis is the thing that makes it pretty open and shut to me. Image library devs can still choose to put the whole political thing aside to respect the wishes of the photo's subject. Does anyone have to, well, not really, but it'd be the nice thing to do.
- vfclists 2y agoAny sources on this?
- kchr 2y agoYes, for example the interview with her in this video: https://youtu.be/yCdwm2vo09I https://youtu.be/yCdwm2vo09I
- treesknees 2y agoTo be fair, the article using this image is from 2021 - before the linked interview was even recorded.
- kchr 2y agoFair enough, thanks for pointing it out.
- nunez 2y agoAnd Lena herself asked the community to stop using it. Oh well.
