          As easy as it is to share photos online, it’s just as easy for people to steal them. As for me, I think that it is not okay for me if someone might be able to grab or get my photos posted online. Getting my personal photos online without my permission is an invasion of privacy and a violation of right of publicity. It is dangerous because there are lots of news nowadays those scammers invading other personal photos to use them to sell or to endorse a product. Some will use it in the social media dummy accounts and pretends to be you even if it is not. Some will use it in sexual social media sites just to gain followers. In short, they will use it to create false impression and injures your reputation. There is also a chance your image could be used to make fun of you, show you in a bad light on purpose, or be paired with cruel comments. It is also creepy when someone you don’t know or some stranger will grab or get your photos online, it feels like someone stalking you even if it is only a photo.

          Sometimes social media is dangerous if people are doing something bad or harmful and affect innocent people. Getting or grabbing photos online without permission, taking pictures of people without permission, stealing photos without permission, using someone’s photos without permission are all illegal and bad actions.
