The notion of personal privacy with images is a social maze to navigate carefully. So you are out for a night out with some great friends and one of them takes out the phone for the mandatory group selfie.
Do you
Option A. Refuse to be in the pic and brace for the “why” questions from your friends?
Option B. Reluctantly smile and take the pic whilst asking them not to post it all over their social media knowing full well that is exactly what they are going to do?
Option C. Declare that you are on the run from the authorities and can’t risk it?
Option D. Take the phone, smash it and RUN.
It has become a major principle that separates us. What are the deeper reasons for inclusion or exclusion? What have you got to hide? Who are you hiding from? Why do you take images of yourself so much? What are you trying to prove?
Once the image is captured you have no control and in most cases, it’s totally harmless. Roll on 10 years and it then becomes material evidence that is held against you.
