So sue. Don't expect legislators or online legions to protect you. Sue to protect others in the same situation.
The common-law tort of invasion of privacy grows to encompass new situations only through court cases.
Courts (i.e., judges) are not looking to create rules out of thin air, but look to reflect when expectations have changed in a way that tracks the principles behind the tort.
In this case, an initial historical period of permitting publication by default can be followed by a restrictive period of prohibiting invasions, based on the recognizing dangers from publication, e.g., permanent and lasting damage to one's business relationships through disclosing of embarrassing but irrelevant images.
To make law you have to get out of the realm of personal feelings and start expressing principles for the way people should live together.
