Firstly, it's not necessarily a paparazzi - it could've just been someone in their neighbourhood who posted it to facebook.
Secondly, here we are generating "engagement" with the product of their work.
First, sure. It could be that. My opinion is that it's awfully likely that a photo in this format was a paparazzo. And if it was a random neighbor it's pretty rude of them, too.
Second, the title of the post had zero indication that this would be a photo taken from the bushes of a celebrity and his child. Comments here in the form of "engagement" are doing absolutely nothing for the person who took the picture. I'm certain the person who made the meme didn't pay for the shot. We don't need to feel guilty because we accidentally viewed it for free on a website that generates no revenue. The people taking the picture are the ones who are wrong.
There are lots of groups out there who could use random people on the internet defending them. Paparazzi are absolutely not in that category. They are terrible people.
