Is this not social media?

No it's an internet message board, which have been around for years before the concept of social media even existed.

Photo taker: Hey how was your weekend?
Op: DONT YOU HEY ME YOU PHOTOTAKING MOTHERFCUKERRR

Haha then he choke slams him through a table.

Op if the photo was taken in work and it was posted on a company Facebook pages you need to review your employee handbook.

If someone in the company took a photo and you're in the background at work then I don't think you can really ask them to take it down.

Guess it depends on the type of photo,is it just you being stalked walking into the toilet or are you just flapping about in the background?

Being honest, I'm more offended by the use of the term "imessage".

Don't mention it and set in motion a series of events over the next year or so that ruin his life culminating in a situation where he has a complete public breakdown in work, then you'll stand over him as he weeps on the floor and shout "that'll teach you not to post photos of me on Facebook without my permission"

Op if it's any recourse my friend once tagged me in a meme about fancying your boss (I used to fancy my old boss) but my boss at the time who I did NOT fancy liked the picture. I had to face work the next day too.

Comments like the above show the ignorance of those who think that just because they feel it's normal to broadcast every waking moment online, there must be something wrong with those who don't

And how would you know how I feel or what I think based on one glib comment?

And I'm ****ing fumin'about it. It's a only a pic of me at work, I'm not on Facebook or any other social media site and I like to keep it that way.

A friend of my sent me a screen shot by iMessage, ****ing raging now, I feel like calling round to the house of the tit that posted it, to tell him to take it down.


Would anyone else be annoyed by this?

I'm going to be honest here, if a photo of you doing nothing wrong posted on Facebook is ALL you have to be worrying about, then you have it pretty damned good. If it's so important to get it removed, ask your friend to take it down. If he won't, suck it up, could be worse.

I agree with the op here. It is even worse in respect of kids and the amount of photos put up. Ask yourself, do you "own" your child? Are they yours to do as you wish? Or are they not entitled to bodily autonomy and to be their own person?

It's the same with people who tell their kids to kiss a relative even though they don't want to. It's not on if you ask me. I let my kids make their own decisions. I'll steer and guide them, but they make their own decisions.

Right now, the Taoiseach of 2055 is on Facebook, probably with his/her face full of chocolate spread.

Let's hope chocolate spread is all they ever have on their face on social media :pac:

That's the correct term for an iPhone to iPhone data message isn't it?

Message is the correct term. iMessage is the software used to transmit the message.

It's all over the country. "Give nana a kiss goodbye', "Give granddad a hug and tell him you'll see him later"

If the kid says no, the kid says no.

The op said sent by iMessage. Nothing wrong there.

I agree but...

Nothing to do with this thread. Couldn't be more unrelated.

I'd agree it's good to keep your privacy, but with so many people on social media sites it's quite difficult. If someone takes a photo of you on a night out, it's totally possible it could end up on Facebook or instagram.

My sister's friend ended up on the cover of Now magazine about 10 years ago. In a bikini:eek:

Papz snapping some TV star and she was lounging near him. Collateral damage. She had a hat on so not immediately recognisable. She told everyone though - proud as punch.

Actually, you can. There is a reasonable expectation of privacy at work. If you are in a large employer, they may well have a policy on this. If you work for a multinational, there may well be 'no photography' signs around.

Either way, the OP certainly has the option to make a formal complaint in work. How this is treated depends a lot on the size and culture of the organisation.

But the first should be to ask the poster firmly to take it down.

1. There are settings on the FB that you can set to disallow any tagging of images with your name/handle, activate it.
It's worth having the time-wastage that is the 'ad-laden, lol-cats' FB just to avail of this feature.

2. Tell FB they're violating your privacy. You can get your house 'blurred' on googlemap-sv if you want, just tell them.

3. Last resort, tell them you consider yourself a celebrity (of sorts), and thus you are a trademarked persona, and any use of your image (all rights reserved) or name, is a copyright violation, requiring a 'model release' sign-off form and suitable fee.

OP I find it hard to believe that there are no other photos of you on Facebook.
Every wedding, birthday party, or special occasion there are hundreds of photos taken, perhaps thousands in the case of weddings & upload to Facebook. Even out on the town at the weekend you're bound to have been photographed

_Whimsical_

Ask the person politely to take it down and they probably will do so.

Are you working and claiming dole?

That's the second time this has been asked. Is it so unusual for someone not to want photos of themselves posted online?
