AIBU?

To tell him to stop sharing photos?

My father’s brother takes and reposts my photos (of family and such) to social media, without crediting me/asking first. He also posts photos of my parents’ home - with identifying information - without any of our consent, as well as photos of properties they no longer own. Confused

My father is not on social media because of his work and would be considered as a HNWI, whereas my uncle is financially supported at times by my father and aunt. We suspect he has MH issues, as he has very few social skills and has always been very odd, but…

AIBU to feel that it’s not his place to share our private photos and to ask him to cease and desist for the sake of our privacy?

I would suggest you don not share photos with him that he does not, with his mh issues know better to share. Simply do not give him the means to do so if he knows no better. And be more empathetic

And btw who really cares about credit for family photos....

“Without crediting me”?
You need to decide what exactly your problem is before you broach it as your above comment seems petulant. You may also find asking works better than telling.

What is a HNWI? Where is he getting the photos From? If you don’t want him to share them, don’t share them with him? His motivations seem utterly harmless so personally I would just let it go.

Oh....so he has money....what does that have to do with your AIBU?!

I’m less concerned with his sharing photos of family members as I am his sharing photos of my parents’ properties without their consent. His captions usually use my father’s legal name as well as the location. Am I wrong to think that this is a risk?

Without crediting you?

Are you Annie Leibovitz?

You describe him as having mh issues and then attack him for stealing photos of his own parents??? You sound like you need more help than he does, what the hell is wrong with that?

Copilot87 · 26/05/2018 03:05

My parents, not his.

You're absolutely right, OP - put your foot down and nip this idiocy in the bud.

Have a word and explain that he’s not to post things with your (pl) address, location, house etc as that’s private information? Not sure how hard you want to go in on his other photo sharing.

Whyarealltheusernamestaken · 26/05/2018 03:27

But you are posting pictures which he can see, and you state he doesn’t have the mental capacities to understand he is doing wrong?

NotTheFordType · 26/05/2018 03:30

How is this your business unless you still live with your parents?

If your parents want your uncle to stop sharing photos of their property then I'm sure they are fully capable of doing so themselves Confused

Maybe you could watermark your photos so if he shares them, you will get credit

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 26/05/2018 05:45

I think I’d explain to your parents what he’s doing and the risk you perceive. Let them address it.

Stop sharing your own photos with him.
