Interesting. I would have been the same in the Bebo days but got over it.
Any running event I goto these days no matter how serious or not has someone taking photos and posting them. How do you get around that one?

I was thinking the same thing. If your involved in any sporting event they can be lots of photo's taken of you at any event by various photographers. Either before/during/after and people don't even relies it.

I hate race photos. I don't race really these days, but when I did...any time I've checked after a race I usually manage to avoid cameras (or my photos are so hideous that they don't publish it )
More of an issue with people forcing me into selfies just because they need to be told how hot they are by their friends in order to feel fulfilled in life or people I know putting up photos of me than a pic of me in a mass participation event in amongst 300 other photos.
There have also been issues in the past which meant I didn't want photos or info about me easily found online... The amount of folk who put other peoples kids on facebook/twitter/instagram bothers me...especially when they put up pictures of kids whose parents either don't put up pics of their own kids or parents who don't use that form of social media/social media at all.

Always hated having my photo taken mind, so, the whole online thing just makes it worse. Don't mind so much when I don't know it's been taken but the whole sticking a camera in my face while they pose for a selfie makes me want to ram their stupid phone in their eye.

Sleep on it. I am sure something will come to mind

if I don't know the answer now i'm not going to know it in the morning.

if I did know of a reason why it wouldn't be a good idea I wouldn't have said there should be a law for it.
why don't you educate me, and then I might look at things different rather than a cat and mouse game.
or is it just because this is AH?
feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, but at least tell me why i might be

or maybe people should be a bit more aware of who is in the backround when they are taking their pictures.?
they usually spend a lot of time with their poses and getting the right shot of themselves. how about spend a few seconds considering if anyone else might in view too

A friend of ours died over Christmas and we were going through old photos of us all together. Some were on holiday, some birthday nights out, some girl nights out. They were all before social media and had plenty of other pub goers in the background. We never gave a sh*te about who was in the background and plenty of people are!

Perhaps the difference is that people are posting them online so the chances of you popping up in someone else's photo might be real. But at the end of the day people are generally only interested in looking at them/their mates and not who's in the background.

if people kept them in a trunk at home like the old days, and had them for family and friends to look at then that's fine.
the issue here is photo's being put online for god know's who to see.
I don't think anybody(if they are not comfortable with it) should have to accept that because it's just the done thing nowadays

No, but there are privacy settings. And as I say, generally people are looking at themselves in the photo. Not the people behind them.

If he was in public he has no rights whether he agreed to it or not far as I'm aware (not sure if being at work counts as being in public).

As far as I know the Freedom of Panorama allows images to be taken of anything or anyone in a public place. And this extends to a right to take images of anything or anyone on private property if the image is taken from a public place. Faces do not have to blurred, nor do car registrations have to be blurred.

Google earth shows more than a Facebook pic ever could sometimes

@Maki - you look pretty much how I'd pictured you in my mind! Lol I'd say quite of lot of boardsies paint a mental picture of other posters based on their posts.

I'm on FB myself so I really don't give a toss having my picture up on social media. But I'm not a selfie obsessed and I do understand how some people don't like having any image of them online. Each to their own.

They tried to blame me when some took some photos when some fellas in nice clean sheets and torches had a march about some race down in Charlottesville.

Glad to see there is another likeminded anti-race person here

Do we have any rights over our photos? If the op agreed to being photographed I don't think he had any rights.

We that argument wouldn't hold up well if a nice lady sent you a sex pic and you decided to share it around you'd be done for revenge porn. Either you own your image rights or you don't.

Yes the person should take the pic off Facebook.

I take it from the smile its a good thing

I wasn't selfie mad until my daughter went to the USA on a J1, then it was selfies all the time.

This photo was taken on a Christmas day run.

But photos, I'm published in one magazine regularly (Judo related) and on various Judo social media sites on the rare occasion I win so I don't get freaked by photos going public.

Outside of that, well I don't publish photos of my family. I administer Portmarnock Judo Club's facebook page and I try my best to keep photos of the childrens class and competitions offline too.

Any opinion I express on boards.ie is mostly done in craic, esp in the cesspit we call After Hours. Someone would want to be very stupid to associate my comments here with the real me.

Oh, and I've never built up a picture in my minds eye of what anyone looks like here tbh. Although when I was working on the door of a rock bar in the city people regularly asked was I 'Makikomi from boards.ie' lol.

Once the image is taken in a public space you can do what you want with it. An image taken in private is a different matter.
