Ask permission before posting to Social Media?

MadsL

Is this too much to ask? Without dwelling on any particular recent incidents and mindful of EP this weekend; why is it that people think they can post pictures of you to social media without your permission?

Could I make a plea that if your are at a party, gig, event, rave or festival and you see someone in an awesome outfit, or getting into a 'scrape', PLEASE ask their permission before posting to social media. Some people have professional lives outside of partying, and you may cause them great difficulty by posting without permission.

I remember a time when you used to ask people before taking a photo, now it seems that anyone is fair game if out in public.

Is it too much to ask to be thoughtful and just ASK?

A lot depends on how conservative your boss is...wouldn't you say?

The definition of wrong being on their side not yours.

Yes, arms down by the sides your whole life!

The scope of what could look bad in your job/company if it was on social media is too large. I think people give enough to their employers without having to be model employees while not working.

If you work for a strict Catholic entrepreneur? A born-again Christian business owner? A private school?

Get the idea...

Other people profiles are not private is the problem.

How about not adding/following your boss/company on social media?

Though that'd ruin the lulz for everyone else: http://happyplace.someecards.com/19469/10-idiots-who-got-caught-by-their-boss-on-facebook

And while you're in a late-night cold sweat about how everyone saw that picture where you looked like a fool, remember that everyone only cared for a nanosecond; you're the one obsessing.

That isn't always the case - photos that are on the web can be seen by anyone.

Although when I was asked to 'Like' the new FB page of a company I worked for by the Marketing Manager my reaction was, would you ever get to f*ck.

I got enough sh#t from management about the environmental charity I volunteered with in my own time.

I get that, so it's probably best to be as careful with RL friends as online ones, and only let the hair down in a secluded spot, among people who won't share what happened in Vegas.

Yeah, ever notice that dichotomy?

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. What happens on tour, stays on tour. etc.

So we can do that, but not keep photos to ourselves.

OP I thought I was the only person who thought that.

I remember being out with friends a while back and they were taking photos and I warned them not to put it on facebook and they just couldn't believe that I would even suggest it. My friends Girlfriend and her friends thought I was a weirdo.

I am on Facebook but my life isn't on it because I don't feel the need for constant attention or that I'm better than everyone else because I do this or that. So I don't want pics of me on the internet that I don't want.

People need to respect others and their right to privacy.

The media should also respect it, they don't and they have far too much power.

I know some people don't see the big deal, but this is the problem.

If you wanna find out if there are pictures of you floating on the net..

Just google yer name in Images..

you'd be surprised on what's picked up.

If you behave yourself and show a bit of self respect for yourself you should have no problem.

Holy ****...I thought that having the same name as somebody relatively famous would filter it out but no...couldn't have picked a worse picture either.

Exactly;

I had the following experience at a festival in Arkansas this year.

Randomer: Can I take you picture (kudos to him for asking)
Me: Sure, thanks for asking first...just keep it for personal use, OK?
Randomer: You mean my facebook?
Me: No, I mean your personal use, not uploaded to the web, OK?
Randomer: But I'm a photographer...
Me: Great, do you have business card?
Randomer: No...

Takes pic with flash on. (Pro photographer huh?) It's nearly 1am and I have now lost my nightvision for the next 15mins, not to mention how painful a flash that close is, and there is plenty of ambient light from the megawatts of stage lighting above us.

Apologises as myself and my friend rub our eyes and blink.

Takes one more without flash, doesn't show them to us and wanders off....

A persons right to privacy should be respected. regardless of what they're doing.

It isn't for you or I to decide.

I should have to 'behave myself' when doing nothing illegal? Interesting. Whose moral code decides that?

People will get out their cameras and film people's last breaths after horrible accidents and plaster it all over the web - your request for privacy, although legitimate, expects too much from the average twat-with-a-camera.

Privacy in public is dead.

There was a notable case of this in recent Cork accident, it's one thing recording & posting someone having a slip and fall, but a serious life-threatening / fatal accident? FFS..

My personal views are that once your not in the privacy of your own home you don't have any privacy. So, you should remember that before you do anything you might regret.

Haha, that's from one of my latest blogs...it's not as bad as it looks, I think.

The picture of me that came up was when I was jokingly giving the finger to a statue of the Virgin Mary...thankfully Granny can't use Google. :P

No sign of my mug on the first page thankfully, I guess my policy of avoiding being photographed when I can possibly avoid it is paying off

The European Court of Human Rights (von Hannover-v-Germany) disagrees with you:

'The general public did not have a legitimate interest in knowing the Applicant’s [Princess Caroline of Monaco's] whereabouts or how she behaved generally in her private life even if she appeared in places that were not private. Everyone, including celebrities, had a “legitimate expectation” that his or her private life would be protected.'

Of course, we don't all have access to the same resources to vindicate our rights as the Princess does . . .

I'd never have thought you so naïve MadsL...

Once you're in a public place you're fair game for photographers, professional or otherwise.

Foxtrol

Don’t see what the issue is, if you’re out in public, at a festival/night out, you could easily run into someone you work for/with or a mutual acquaintance. If no one took photos it would lower the risk a bit but isn’t going to remove it, so if you’re that worried about doing something that could get you in trouble just don’t do it.

I go on holiday with a friend/colleague from work and lay around a beach topless. Friend/colleague takes pics whilst I'm asleep. She is friends on FB with the rest of the office including the boss.

Morto? or Fair game?
