Yes it is but at the same time, everyone is accountable for their actions. KKF was right, to avoid being a victim, just don’t do it. It doesn’t make the poster right at all but you can’t control what people do online entirely. There isn’t enough in place to set a standard of what happens to those people who take violate other people’s rights. If your going to post something online that you may not want the world to see then simply don’t do it. If you do, then proceed with caution or at your own risk.

Totally disagree. So let’s say an innocuous picture of yours is posted online - let’s say from your linkedin profile. Yes, you’ve put your photograph out there in the public space, but you didn’t expect your picture to be reposted with derogatory messages or held up to ridicule you.

Manipulating photographs and reposting them in wrong - no possible excuse including "but you posted your picture or allowed someone else to post your picture somewhere on the Internet is ever an excuse.

The whole proceed with caution warning is fine - but is not good enough in this day and age.

As an example, you assume that you are anonymous online and as a result post/vent about your personal life. If tomorrow someone posts your picture and your “anonymous” posts are shared with your spouse/parents/in-laws/friends and relatives - would that be fair game because you gave up your right to privacy by creating an online profile and existing online
