If you had read your own link, the second paragraph:
An Argentine captured naked in his yard by a Google Street View camera has been awarded compensation by a court after his bare behind was splashed over the internet for all to see.
He won $16,000 because Google didnât blur his butt in the picture.
Why would it need to blur it? If you were passing by, I assume youâd see it, so you might as well take a pic and use it for your own corporate needs. Thatâs the logic weâre talking about here, though itâs not my logic.

I didnât get into the details too much once I saw that it was completely irrelevant to their point.
If I had to guess, it would be because Google Maps gets a lot more views than the man typically recieves while walking naked in public.
Some countries stipulate that it is illegal to publish someoneâs photograph without their consent. Sometimes there is a distinction between personal and commercial use, but usually commercial use is the more strict, and Googleâs use would definitely count as commercial.
Art. 31. - The photographic portrait of a person may not be placed in commerce without the express consent of the person himself, and when the latter is dead, of his spouse and children or their direct descendants, or in their absence, of the father or mother. In the absence of the spouse, the children, the father or mother, or the direct descendants of the children, the publication is free.
The person who has given his consent may revoke it by reducing damages.
The publication of the portrait is free when it is related to scientific, didactic and in general cultural purposes, or to facts or events of public interest or that have been developed in public.

I expect that big AI corps are scraping all content they can, so I think that all instances are scraped. The âgoodâ part about Lemmy (not like R****t) is that the rest of the world can scrap the data too. So the power of our data is not only for big tech corps.
threaded - newest
so basically all of them?
Yes đ
Lol mine was too insignificant to make the cut.
Same đ
Whatâs the privacy issue here?
Our comments are public, there is no expectation of privacy.
You post here and can delete here. If someone copies you content, you arenât in control of deletion anymore
That happens anyways because of federation. As soon as your comment gets federated, you donât have control over it anymore.
Why do people sue Google and win for it taking pictures of their houses from the streets? Itâs all public access, right?
Thatâs not at all what happened.

I found a site which seems to have the corresponding law for Argentina: www.argentina.gob.ar/âŠ/propiedad-intelectual
