    Internet: this is awful, of course your inheritors own your own image as stewarts.

    Also Internet: I have a right to take pictures of you, your car, your house, or record you without consent. Edit it however I want. Make as much money as I want from the activities and you have no rights. Since if technology allows me to do something you have no expectation that I won’t.

    We are demanding that a public figure who is dead have more rights than a private person who is alive.

      Im probably out of the loop, or just way too tired to work out what you mean.

      Who is the “also internet” part roughly referring to? It reminded me of the sssniperwolf incident, and if i recall, the internet was not happy with that, so it doesn’t make sense to me.

      Im also not comfortable with the generalised use of “the internet” because by its very nature saying “the internet” is almost akin to saying “humans”

      Every individual member of “the internet” is different and has different views, so pointing out a discrepancy and framing it like it shouldn’t be there is a bit redundant.

      Its like saying

      Humans: like affordable housing

      Also humans: raise interest rates to unaffordable levels.

      There are two different groups here that are both humans. So its not particularly useful to group them together with the collective word when trying to point out a disparity.

        Just many many times over the years I have seen little pervs on social media brag how they are citizen journalists and have every right to publish any photo that they could physically take. Since no one has a reasonable expectation of privacy in their own home.
