Recently I have posted several pictures and used a “pig head” carton to cover the faces of those people who were captured in my pictures. I posted these pictures were planned to explain a scenario and not to intend invading others’ privacy. However, a HKBWS member named Sze complained about my pictures and commented that I shouldn’t use the carton to cover the people faces. Then I asked her to explain why those photos posted by you on 15 June 2010 without covering the faces of those peoples in your pictures. She said that you are an expert of birds; it is normal that you won’t know everything which includes protection of others’ privacy.
I thought that anything wrong with the posting, this should be pointed out by the forum administer. However, Sze said that if I found your photos were posting incorrectly, I should response to you directly. As such, I would like to comment your posting on 15 June 2010 as follows:
I found that you haven’t covered the faces of those people who were captured in your photos. Have you considered those people who were captured in your pictures may not want to expose themselves publicly? It seems that you have invaded their privacy.
As such, may I suggest you to cover people faces when you planned to post their pictures in the public? Like Google, accidentally they have captured people in their photos when they working on their map design. They worried about invasion of others’ privacy. As such, they have reported these events to the relevant Govn’t and seek for their advice before taking any action.
因不忍被攝師兄抛頭露面！又無人敢對專家發言！故為此文對 ajhon 作出勸告。
