Have you ever uploaded a photo you took to a social media site? If so, there is a good chance that because you agreed to the social media company’s terms of service, the company can use your photo for promotional reasons. Do you think it is okay that social media companies make users agree to let them use users’ photos? Why or why not?

Compare what you think about social media companies using users’ photos to people claiming photos they found online as their own. Is one practice worse than the other? Why or why not?
Write one to two sentences explaining what you think about social media companies requiring users to agree to the company using their images for promotional purposes. Provide at least one reason that supports your idea.

Answer:

I think it would be fine if they notified you but only if they used me for a good reason.

On the other hand...

no matter if it's on the agreement if it is inappropriate on your part it is illegal and you can complain.
