WHAT PROBLEMS CAN BEING TAGGED WITHOUT PERMISSION CAUSE?
Tags meet the need of those who want to link a person to a photograph, usually identifying them on an image.
If this way of expressing oneself is analyzed, and considering that Social Networks distribute tags by notifying those who are related to the pic, the outcome becomes clear:
- someone is telling things about us when we become related to a photograph, as a picture is worth a thousand words (the way we look, who we are with, what we are doing…)
- the social network disseminates this information instantaneously
Why are things made easy so that some people can tell things about our lives, while others get to know those things without our own consent and participation?
Tags can be eliminated, but this action must be explicit; furthermore, it also fails to prevent widespread distribution of the tags.
In addition to “publishing” our lives one tag at a time, they can cause additional problems due to unfortunate, reckless, negligent or malicious uses. Improper use of tags can cause severe damage and even create cyberbullying situations. We invite you to meet some of these situations at www.etiquetassinproblemas.com
