I know some of you will understand this, but I went somewhere with my parents yesterday and someone was taking pictures. I VERY SPECIFICALLY told this person I did NOT want my picture taken, in any way, shape, or form. Oh, ha ha, sure, no one is taking your picture.
What shows up today? A picture of me tagged on Facebook. Now, I can remove the tag, but not the photo. What the heck is wrong with people? I don't give a hoot about what you think is ok or not ok. It's not up to you to decide that there should be pictures of people who specifically asked you not to take them. I don't care if you think that's weird or have some other judgment you'd like to pass. Plus, it's on the internet, which means it can never disappear.
No matter how weird they seem to you, if someone tells you they have a boundary, just freaking respect it. My hate for this right now is absolutely huge.

I have a cousin who is going to have a camera and/or several bones broken some day for crap like this.

ReplyDeleteI don't have a problem with this when I am hanging around with you guys because I trust you and what you do with pics, so you are welcome to take them. However, people have become, shall we say, increasingly injudicious and thoughtless about indiscriminately broadcasting Everything over the intarweebs. Do what you want with pics of yourself and your life, but kindly ask and then listen if somebody else doesn't feel the need to be instagram famous.
