Do you have the right to screenshot anything someone has posted on social media?

Question

Is it wrong to screenshot a 'revealing' picture, even if the admin posted on their social media?

Just curious for everyone's opinion :)

Answer

If you're posting it on social media FOR people to see, how can you be mad at them for screenshotting? You put it on there knowing theyre able and can save the pic. Do you give cake to someone and say don't eat it? No. If someone sends a pic to a specific person expressing that it's a private pic not to be shared then that person has to respect their word and not screenshot. Otherwise don't be mad when you put yourself in that position lol.

Answer

Although I find it wrong, unethical, and disturbing that people steal photos that do not belong to them, people should understand that it is a risk before posting it. Imo, you've given up rights to those photos once you uploaded them for the world to see.

Answer

i mean that's why you should be careful about what you post. people have the right to do whatever they want with it.

Answer

I answered wrong. Sure u have the right To screenshot. But it's also wrong so screenshot a revealing pic depending on you intent of screenshotting it.

For personal use-w/e no biggie

But to repost it or redistribute it with the intent of bullying,making fun of, making an "example" of negative behavior etc. is definitely morally wrong.

Sure it's your right, and the OP fault for putting it up. But it's morally wrong. To participate in bullying.

Answer

It's allowed in court, it's allowed in police documents, I'm covering my ass and screwing those who tried to start shit.

Don't like it, be mature enough to act like an adult and not make threats or harass people.

Answer

your title question + poll question are opposites so i wasn't sure what to answer to.

if it's on social media, anyone has the right to screenshot it. if it's through a private message (sexting only between 2 people), that's a different story

Answer

Anything you post on social media is for thr public. You can't get angry if someone screen shots it.

Answer

I bought the 256gb iPhone for the sole purpose of documenting all of the dumb stuff my friends post on social media (and saving text message conversations so I can always bust of RECEIPTS). I don't give a damn lmaoo. I'll screenshot your shit and save it on my laptop. Call me a bitch or whatever, I don't care 🤷‍♀️ 😂. Don't let me follow you if you're gonna incriminate yourself bc I will be alllll on top of that

Answer

I'm not sure why anyone needs to take pictures of another person. I've screenshot things before but mainly hair, nails or sayings I like and agree with. I don't have a purpose to need someone's pic on my phone or that of their children.

Answer

It depends on the purpose of the screenshot.
