explanation made psychological sense.
It did not excuse anything.
“You will delete every copy you control.”
I said.
“You will identify every person who received them.
You will send written instructions requesting deletion.
And you will not contact Maya until she decides whether she wants
contact.”
“You can’t cut me off from my niece.”
“I can protect my child from an adult who secretly turned her body into
a sales pitch.”
“She’s my family.”
“Then you should have treated her like a person.”
I ended the call.
We consulted an attorney.
Not because I wanted revenge.
Because Maya was a minor and photographs of her had been used in a
proposed commercial context without permission.
The legal questions were more complicated than social media would make
them sound.
Where the photographs were taken mattered.
How they were used mattered.
Whether they had been published mattered.
Contracts, privacy rights, publicity rights
