With or without the most extreme possibilities, isn't it possible that such image posting can be the cause of bullying or other demeaning or criminal/targeting/bullying activities? In most school there are often strict rules against taking pictures in school, with the real problem being the publishing of those pictures without permission. Protecting one’s likeness falls squarely in the realm of the right to privacy. So how wise is it to make one’s image available (along with the capability for those one does not know to link this to all key information about the person pictured including name, age, address… likes, dislikes… the list can go on and on but you get the idea). Why is the potential for foul play or any type, bullying, or even mere embarrassment brought on oneself so poorly understood?

Post 7 Chapter 7 Fun With FlickR October 25, 2011
My first question: How is FlickR substantially different in purpose than say a blog or WIKI? In addition: How, especially one that has the capacity to publish many photos and/or videos to demonstrate class activities and the like? I've already noted , I think, that any that any picture published in the public domain, and especially ones that can be identified and tagged seem to pose a potential to those pictured--retrieved by who knows? Maybe I've been watching too many Crime Dramas on TV (most probably) but nonetheless, if I were a young man or woman, a child or adolescent in particular whose identity , location, and activities could easily be accessed by thousand (or more) I believe I'd be far more risk averse than the current population seems to be--even if these risks are less sensational than I can imagine, and I can imagine some very sensational and potentially dangerous and eerie in in terms of outcome.
After all isn't possible that a published photo could easily be tagged in a manner that poses extreme risk to the person pictured. Or, is it possible to Photoshop—or otherwise somehow change the activities or "sense/context” et cetera of the photo and thus cause damage thus, again, to those pictured?
