Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Nothing in that article says what you're saying.

You literally just googled "photos without permission posted online" and copy and pasted the URL here.

If you knew anything about the law, the constitution, and court cases, you'd know that journalists have unbelievably broad leeway to post whatever is deemed newsworthy, including photographs taken without consent.

And the proof falls on you. You're the one who needs to show it's illegal. Everything is legal until it's not. That person can't prove legality unless there's a court case that overturns a law.
