I don’t agree. Purpose and use case should be a factor. For example, my friends take pictures of me and put them on social media to share memories. Those images have since been scraped by companies like Clearview AI providing reverse face search to governments and law enforcement. I did not consent to or agree to that use when my likeness was captured in a casual setting like a birthday party.
perhaps - but it could easily be argued that you knew that what you share on the internet was viewable by anyone. are you going to sue Clearview and/or the law enforcement agencies for control over your image that's in the public domain?
You keep using that word. Maybe you should look up what it means.
You know that you are making a photo public when you post it publicly
I didn’t post it, and it seems like you missed the point of my comment. Just because something is viewable, doesn’t mean it can be used in whatever manner you want. That kind of the whole idea behind copyright. There are limits to the use. Even open source projects have a license that declares how you can use the code.
