A Louisiana high school student lost her student government position and scholarship opportunities after a twerking video was shared on social media.

    Why’d they show the picture of the underaged girl in an article about her twerking? That’s really weird.

      US law has no identity protection laws for news reporting. They can attach your face to anything.

        You’re just entirely making that shit up. Why do you feel the need to do that? https://www.findlaw.com/injury/torts-and-personal-injuries/online-photos--taken-and-posted-without-your-permission.html

          The fuck are you on? That’s a random site that I’m sureeeeee works for random pictures taken without your permission being posted by random people, you think that’ll work against a massive news publication?

          It’s a massive ethical debate, but you think that’ll stop them? The vast majority of photos used fall under fair use, since the second you post them to social media, they no longer belong to you.

            That’s a legal site run by lawyers under Reuters, it’s not some random site. Do you have absolutely anything supporting what you’re saying, or are you making things up off of stereotypes you read on the internet.

              And? Nothing on the site states that you have legal recourse. Unless they’re slandering you; what can you do?

              “Stereotypes” lmao
