I have had requests to remove images from Facebook several times and if I am not quick enough, I get a reminder from their lawyer.<br /><br />Also: more and more people control the image they present on Facebook. They will only accept pictures of them presenting them in favourable light and posted by the right person. I have had to sign for paid models that I will not publish pictures on my Facebook, because their career demands that they are associated with pro photographers only. And from a different line of work, I know that my employer pushed some colleagues to resign, because of their Facebook. Not that they were drunk or had scandalous pictures, but because they were associated with people or causes that the employer did not like (free software, for example).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-90104480533383594962016-04-20T08:51:57.343-07:002016-04-20T08:51:57.343-07:00No problem, Foolish Man!

It's just that, in my (limited) experience, the results of image searching are generally risible, thankfully, and nothing like the joined-up imaginings of, say, the TV series Person of Interest ("You are being watched...").<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-14941961812801333042016-04-19T20:49:24.788-07:002016-04-19T20:49:24.788-07:00Hi Mike,

The amount of hedging and "this is not a stalking 101 guide" phrases I used made me realize I had broached a topic I'm not comfortable having attached to my name by people preforming simple internet searches. <br /><br />I don't think anything in my original post was inappropriate and certainly wasn't intended to be, but I believe it could be misconstrued and/or taken out of context at a future date. <br /><br />I believe the points raised in my original post were relevant and contributed to the discussion. As such, my previous post will likely return in a newly edited form tomorrow. Unfortunately the most edited portion will be regarding my recent endeavours in tracking down an online commenter, so I suspect you will be left justifiably unsatisfied.<br /><br />I felt I owed you an explanation as to why the original post was removed after you directly questioned the contents. Sorry for the disappearing Houdini act. This is the first time I remember deleting a comment like this.A Foolish Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13012370239537470790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-71870648588277593512016-04-19T18:04:25.884-07:002016-04-19T18:04:25.884-07:00Is it perfect?

This was clearly not done using Google Image search -- care to say how you did do that?
