is currently doing the rounds on facebook.
It was taken one day last week, and seems to have gone somewhat viral...
Now in this instance it's a nice picture with cute dog/s (there's another one in the background) so to all intents and purposes is completely harmless and just cute/lovely/.
But the issue I have with it is that it was taken without his knowledge, and he didn't become aware of its existence until he was tagged by a friend in a comment.
In this instance most of the comments have been positive, but what if he had been correcting the dog and someone had photographed that, and people had taken exception....
Or like another thread on here, a woman took a picture of a man in a shop and has put it on fb for her friends to laugh at....
The taking of pictures without consent to then seek likes and comments for them is about nothing more than shallow self gratification, without any consideration for the fact that the person they are photographing is oblivious, and could potentially remain oblivious to the fact they may be being mocked online....
