I HATE IT!!!

I went to a huge dinner party with friends, held in the ballroom of a hotel...get the idea?

Great time, one of my friends took pictures of all of us at different times throughout the evening which I later saw when he he emailed us the pics.

THEN! One of our friends ( not at the party) said, “Hey saw your pics at the party...”.

Sooo, the guy taking the pics put them on HIS Facebook.
There was nothing wrong with the pics, etc...But it just bugged me that I go somehwere, frineds take pics, and BOOM, its on the internet.

I hear ya! When something such as this has happened to me, I immediately contact the person and tell them to immediately delete my picture and or name or both. It is my picture and my name and unless my permission is given they have no right to publish either. Period.

I used to produce/direct media products (film, video, multimedia, electronic) and we always had to get a signed permission to publicly display a person's image and name. There is no reason on advent of the web that ANY of these legalities should change. People need to be made aware it is not only inappropriate, it is in many cases legally pursuable.Anyone who does not respect that privacy should be in for a rude awakening.

LOL.

If you had a smartphone with a facebook app, you could have taken and posted pics of the party at the exact moment you took them and others at the party with smartphones with the facebook app could view the pics of the party on facebook while still at the party.
