Quick question, Do I have a right to ask or demand that my picture not be put on facebook ?

[Beachnutt]

I am not against people doing facebook as all my family members do facebook but I personally do not do facebook and have asked not to be posted on facebook but they do it anyway and take offense to me asking not to be on facebook.
Anybody else having this problem ??

1. Of course, you absolutely have that right.

I think Fascistbook should be dismantled; it's a clear and present danger. We can't let them fuel another insurrection.

9. My older sisters are trump and faux lovers and continue

to try and preach to me by texting bible verses etc..
but absolutely refuse to hear anything I say by trying to point out the lies of trump and faux so I asked them to please stop with the religous stuff to me as I see it you cannot be a "christian" and a trump supporter but they continue to send text so yesterday I politely told them that in my world TRUTH STILL MATTERS and I blocked them, I have a heavy heart from all of this but what can I do ?

11. They are not spiritually your sisters; DNA only goes so far.

4. Thank you for the link, I am so fed up with my family, they all are trumpers and just love facebook

I do not and have asked over and over to not put my picture on there and they really get offensive and then they wanna know who told me I was on there, (I most always find out from someone), This crap is crazy.

8. I don't understand why

it's so difficult for them to honor your very simple request.

12. Facebook told me I was in a pic!

I had been “tagged” in a pic with others. Had the tag removed.

3. Are these photos group photos that include you?

If so, you probably can't logically demand that they not be posted on Facebook by others in those photos or by the person that takes them.

Instead, perhaps you should simply remove yourself from groups when photos are being taken. That won't deal with all of them, but it will help with some, perhaps. The other option is to avoid such groups altogether.

6. No, I have learned to not do group pictures, sad that I have to

an Example is me mowing the yard with my grandson and not even know they are taking my picture and then find out I'm on facebook.

5. It depends

For example, when one of my sons played football one of the parents demanded no one post ANY photos that included their son. One of the other parents was a lawyer and basically said they cannot expect privacy when engaged in a public event.

So if you are all at Disneyland, nah you have no right to privacy

7. Now that facial recognition software is becoming so readily available, perhaps more should

have this concern.

My sister has never wanted to attend social functions (as a HCW) (where alcohol was being consumed and possibly drug use among some) for fear FB photos posted might bring questions upon her or be used against her in some way. While she was brushed off by younger colleagues, employers are frequently scouring social media nowadays for issues that can come back to bite them. I don't think her concerns were at all unwarranted.

As to whether an individual can demand FB remove their photos taken without permission? Good luck. The best you'd be able to do is take action against the person who took the photo and posted it. But even then, good luck. If it can at all be construed as a public event, you have few rights.

10. You can ask that they blur your face. Perfectly reasonable request at a family gathering.

The ubiquity of cameras/phones makes this a tough call because you don't have a 'right to privacy' in a public space, at least in the US. Elsewhere, you do and can request people not to take your photo. If they want to take a photo the subject must grant permission.
