Sharing photos without permission
Why should you always ask for permission before sharing a photo of someone?
Once a photo is posted online, other people can copy and share it easily. They might share it in ways that it wasn't meant to be shared.
Imagine a girl who shares a cute photo of herself with someone. Then, imagine that person shares it online to show friends the cute girl they're talking to. Then, imagine those friends share it to a "pretty girls" page where thousands of people comment on how she looks. Then, imagine all of her friends find out...
Sharing personal or private things without asking for permission can ruin someone's life! |
