Is it Ethical to Post Compromising Photos or Videos of Others? Posting photos and videos on Facebook, YouTube and other social media is an everyday activity for many individuals. When you post a picture of just yourself or of others who are aware that the content is going online, it isnt controversial. But what if the photo or video is less than flattering or shows the individual in a compromising position? Is it OK to post content without asking the individual first? What if you post but dont tag the individual so he or she isnt identified Does that make a different? What if you dont tag the person and someone else does Is your fault posting the content originally? What if the individual knows you are posting it but then regrets it later Should you remove the item? What if a photo or video you post cause someone else a problem (such as an angry parent or a partner, or a lost job opportunity)? Is ever ethical to post potentially compromising photos or videos of others online? Why or why not?
