A Danger in Posting Photos Online

Marp · ‎03-09-2010

Among the dangers of posting photos online:

AI was used to turn a teen's photo into a nude image. Now the teen is fighting for change to protect other kids.

I can only imagine what pedophiles are doing with the programs.

The danger is now significantly increased with the naming of sites and enough information in the article to provide search phrasing.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

I saw that. Really messed up.

I also don't get people who put picture after picture of their grandchildren or nieces/nephews all over Facebook. Cute to look at, but I don't agree with it.

I have said this many time on FB groups I am on and no one listens, the think I am some cranky old lady

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Originally, this was the great thing about FB. We have family all over the country and could share ski trips, pet photos, graduations, and basically keep up with each other. We haven't done that for years. It's all ads now.

It's hard for me to understand how someone can legally take your photo, change it, and distribute it.

Our family has a private site that we use to share family photos of the children, but I see a lot of pics on my FB feed. I never see an ad, thank goodness. I use Facebook Purity, they block most ads, and the rest are gone because of my adblocker.

Photos can also contain data about time, location, etc. I never post pictures.

I don't know anything about FB, but just thinking........

Even if a family/real friends receive photos from a person, it could be possible that those photos could be shared to their own family/friends and other friends/family who could, in turn, share with their other unknown (to us) contacts.

The sharing might go on and on.........

Who knows where those photos could 'end up' world-wide.

Right? or Wrong?

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Yes, and even a former friend or disgruntled co-worker could share. I think in Florida there was a women who discovered that a former high school classmate had modified and/or shared her photos. I think she hadn't seen him in years so it was sort of amazing that she found out and I can't remember how she did it.
