I'm not sure. Because you have put the picture in the public domain I'm not sure where you stand. I think it depends how the pictures are being used.

"If something saves or screenshots a pic of yours on here and sends it to someone else without your consent ior due knowledge is that a criminal offence "

Criminal is an interesting distinction. There are potentially civil offenses such as copyright theft.

I don't think so because the images haven't been copywrited. I think because the pictures have been put up by him I don't think there's anything he can do.

All images are copyright. It's automatic, you don't "do it".

Copyright lies with thd creator aka the photographer until 70 after thief death.

It really depends on how it's used, if it's used to black mail,coerce or intimidate and alike then yes it does come under a criminal act but not the actually screenshotting of the image if that makes sense.

I believe there are some laws. For Snapchat, criminal prosecutions can come about from screenshotting and that is under copyright law. But I'm not sure how it works for images on a public domain, although there are other laws for sharing of sexual images without consent.

You are talking about revenge porn but this isn't what this is. Because the pictures have been posted to the site he has put them in the public domain so the sharing sexual images without consent wouldn't come into it. We all have to accept if we put photos on here They may get shared.

That is very difficult to prove and not worth the hassle.

They are wrong. If they took the photo they can use civil procedures, but no one is going to prison

Not unless it’s used for revenge porn

No because he has willingly put the pictures up in the public domain. The revenge porn law is more about photos that are taken with permission but only to be used for personal use.

I think there is also some information on copyright law. 'Under UK copyright law, it would be unlawful for any user of any social media platform to take another person's image and republish it to the public'.

I believe this is from a mirror article but there are other potential references. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.mirror.co.uk/tech/screenshotting-sharing-snapchat-messages-illegal-7646340.amp

In public yes however it sounds like this has just been shared with another individual.

I suppose it depends on what is classed as private and public domain, there is the argument that Fab is a closed, private group. Would be interesting to see how this would play out in court and how a judge would interpret the law

It's not private though because any member of the public can have an account if they are over 18.

I think you would struggle to reasonably argue you thought your images would be kept private on a site like this.

It has nothing to do with public or private.

Anyone using a copyrighted image commits a civil offence

Under revenge porn there has to be intent to cause distress.

Yeah, the latter is a good point.

Although I do think context could be considered- I do think a court may draw a distinction between somebody uploading an image or video from here (without consent) to a porn site and simply sharing the image/vid between individuals.

Again I'm not sure where that stands as there is a lot of grey area with the revenge porn law.

In this country, the person who takes the photo automatically holds copyright but it's a difficult thing to fight even for professional photographers unfortunately.

Don't think u can do anything! I have had vids taken from here and put on the x fury creature site not sure im allowed to name it lol! I wouldn't have know had someone from here not told me! I did get in contact with them and had them removed apparantly they have turned up on other sites! Which is not a worry to me unless someone is getting paid for them then that would piss me of! But I do accept if I put stuff out there I have pretty much no control! If it's used like revenge porn say sent to your employers that's a criminal matter on other hand x

Peoples pics get lifted from here quite a lot and spread around the chans. They do a particularly cruel thread around trans users on here or larger ladies calling them a name I will not repeat.

Be really hard to prove and makes you think twice about sending a face pic.

UK Police are quite some way behind on ever evolving digital offences and techniques.
