They Didn’t Ask to Go Viral. Posting on Social Media Without Consent Is Immoral
It's typical to ask friends for permission to share pictures of them. Yet people don't extend this courtesy to strangers, either because they think nothing of it or they need to go viral at all costs.

Its literally illegal in most countries...
That statement is generally untrue.
If the photos were comissioned, then the photographer would need a release to publish them. If the publishing was for a commercial activity, then the photographer would need a release to use them. If the photos were taken in/on private property where the subjects had a legal expectation of privacy then the photographer would need a release. But in all other cases the photographer does not need a release and it is not illegal. All the above...is how current laws in the US work, which a lot of other countries mirror.
In general, taking photos of people, in public, is legal in most countries, and publishing those photos as artistic expression (non commercial use) is also generally legal and does not require any form of consent from the subjects nor does it require any form of compensation to the subjects.
Im not talking about fucking muricaland, its not the center of the fucking world.
Yeah, I know...which is why I specifically said "how current laws in the US work, which a lot of other countries mirror".
You made the claim it's "illegal in most countries".... so how many countries do I need to list where it's not illegal before you accept that you are factually incorrect?
97 to have the majority of UN countrys its 193 in total so you need more than half...
See you tomorrow.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Country_specific_consent_requirements
This site lists the country-specific laws for taking/publishing photos.
49 countries that are tracked.
Of those 49 countries, it is explicitly permitted to photograph without consent in public in 28 of those countries, and in an additional 9 countries under most circumstances, and in an additional 9 countries under circumstances with some restrictions. Consent to photograph is only always explicitly required in 3 of 49 countries.
Regarding publishing without consent. Of those 49 countries, it is explicitly permitted to publish photographs without consent in 8 of those countries, and in an additional 11 countries under most circumstances, and in an additional 25 countries under circumstances with some restrictions. Consent to publish is only always explicitly required in 4 of the 49 countries.
Tell me again how it is "illegal in most countries" and that your "not talking about fucking muricaland".
Very contrived way of wording it. The page you linked shows that, out of 49 countries, only 19 allow publishing photos of people without their permission, including the US, whereas 30 countries usually or always forbid this. That's already a clear minority. On top of that, 11 out of those 19 countries still have cases where publishing is not legal, where the US is one of the only 8 that always allows it.
So I wouldn't say many countries mirror the US, and indeed it is illegal in most countries (in that list).
"Most" countries? Pretty sure the majority of countries dosen't have regulations about that. by most you mean usa, Canada, Europa and Japan?
By most i mean sane countrys so EU
Europe moment
25% of the countries on earth are in Europe, far less than most.
90% of important countrys are there...
Typical European racism.
Ah yes Racism.
Get fucked.
Only white countries are important - you
I could be wrong, you could be a fascist rob Desantis supporter, typical American then.
Ah yes, white countrys are more important = Racist
People like you are why nobody takes us politics seriously, everything is about race, you know what? Nobody gives a fuck about your stupid skin color here. It couldn't be more irrelevant. It's just how shit is.
You're getting chastised because you're probably the kind of person who is constantly criticizing Americans for their Amerocentric worldview, and yet here you are spreading blatant Eurocentrism.
Americans are tired of the hypocrisy, and the rest of the world doesn't like it any more from Euroids than they do from Yanks.
Oh fuck I was just being a dick but you are pretty fucking racist huh
When the fuck did i say anything about fucking skin color you stupid pile of human garbage?!? Hu? Did i say the fucking Word? Did i call you some racial slurs or do you just believe everything is racist that doesn't include you?
