I was just going through my facebook time line and i saw this one post...it is SO sick and Retarded... this guy has been using some of hugely inspiring(and famous) Before- After pictures of women who over came obesity in an inverse manner and Making fun of them n says "this is what happens when you eat Nutella"

This makes me so angry... some of these women are Members of MFP... and its heartbreaking to see how some jerk can use their pictures like this...... Is there any way to report this *kitten*??? :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Seems like normal internet "List Article" rubbish. On what grounds would you report it, exactly, and why would it be your right to curtail his/her free speech on this matter?

    I guess fundamentally if you don't want your pics re-used by random strangers in unpredictable ways, don't share them on the internet.

    Unfortunately there will always be people who feel the need to shame others to make themselves feel mightier. Not much you can do about it though, it's true any picture you post on the net is available to the public.

    Don't use the word 'retarded' to describe something bad. It's offensive.

    Agree with above, treat posting on WWW with caution unless you you are happy with any one using all, or selected bits, of content in any way they please

    Yah.

    That said when I come across things like the picture that dude posted which is clearly idiotic I don't get annoyed about it but rather take the p*ss out of it.

    Like "dude, it must be sad for you that lady wouldn't want to date you no matter what her weight" or "well done on finally managing to post an image because let's face it if brains were dynamite you couldn't blow your own nose" etc etc.

    Pay fools no mind.

    I guess fundamentally if you don't want your pics re-used by random strangers in unpredictable ways, don't share them on the internet.

    The people who took the photos are the legal copyright owners of the photos, and people using them without permission is breaking copyright law. Additionally there are privacy laws about using pictures of people without their permission, which are separate to copyright laws. Even if you own the copyright of a picture of someone else you can't just use that picture for any purpose.

    I agree with the general advice about being really careful who you share your pictures with online though. This kind of thing is pretty common, and frequently they can't track down the person doing it to take any action against them. Although if you know who's hosting the website, you can contact them to let them know that the person is using copyrighted images without permission and the web hosts may remove that person's account, although that doesn't stop them from setting up the same site with a different web host.

    Wordpress (blogging web hosts) have some really good advice about how to deal with intellectual property theft in their help section, although maybe you need to have a wordpress blog before you can read that advice (worth a try seeing if you can access it without a wordpress account though, because you probably can)

    This...

    If there's one thing that people do with ease and in abundance on the internet, it's fat shaming. I doubt it's something that is ever going to change, and while we can only try to educate those that "poke fun" that what they're doing is counter-productive and hurtful, there will always be those with the mentality to hurt others regardless.

    Facebook should have a "report" button in the upper right corner of any post.

    Are you serious??? How is using other people's pictures called free speech???!!

    Those women shared their pictures on mfp and other forums to inspire women and men out there that is possible to get healthy. It is a shame how someone so psychologically ill can use these pictures in such a humiliating way. And even if those pictures weren't reversed !! who is he to shame them ?!!

    The fat shaming is a low elementary school playground level of attack. If someone must resort to, " Oh you're fat, hur dur!", it speaks louder to their character than the people in the photos and they seriouisly need a more intelligent insult for someone than a fat jab.

    Yes what they did was wrong,but nothing needs to be defended here. Those people in the pictures are amazing and have done soo much to reach a goal they and others probably didn't believe they'd ever reach, look at them now! Why do they need to go defending what needs no defense at all? The person on the other end probably has no accomplishment big or small of which to speak. Acknowledging this or opening up a dispute with them will only add kindle to their pathetic little troll fires.

    You can report the offensive post on facebook but you have to click into it then choose options at the bottom of the photo.

    ^^^^ agreed, i find this more offensive too.

    As people have said previously if you put your pic online expect it to become public property .. i wouldnt mind if they took mine and posted it on something like that if it taught people to look after their bodies better and not take it for granted . :smile:

    I find that post just about as offensive as your use of the word "retarded".

    You click on it and a drop down should appear. Thereby, enabling you to report it to facebook as offensive. You can also hide it from your timeline. If you would like more friends please add me, I am also on facebook under the same name. Take care and God bless.

    Moral of the story:

    What you find offensive does not apply to everyone. I'm sure you didn't think that calling the story "retarted" would be such a big deal. Lesson learned :flowerforyou:

    Sidenote: it's FB. The list of shameful things are numerous.

    You really can't be serious, this is not free speech! This individual is using photos that he haven't been authorized to use. I wouldn't go so far as to call him retarded because that could be viewed as offensive. I would further state that in my opinion and everyone has a right to their opinion. He is not Psychologically sound (some may find this statement offensive). Why would you take pleasure in gisting about an individual; that has worked hard to lose weight to improve their health. Those posted photos by the individual is to motivate and encourage others. Furthermore, she can report it to facebook and/Zynga as offensive and they will remove it. If the person continues make these types of posts, and she and/or others continue to report them as offensive Zynga and/or face will remove his account.

    I can tell you from personal experience that reporting pics to Facebook, even if it has your face in them, will not do any good. I can report defaced nasty pics of me all day long and Facebook says it's not against their community standards. I actually have a police report filed for harassment against the offending poster and will have to go to civil court to get Facebook to take the pics down. Security on Facebook is a joke, as well. You can't even delete a Facebook accout. The only thing you can do is deactivate it and thenall it takes to reactivate it is to simply sign back in.

    Again.. I repeat. If Facebook refuses to take pics down of you or your family, and they will refuse, you have to go to the police to get help and hire a good attorney.

    Way to mix up different issues.

    If you say the right things the right way, Facebook will take it down. That's why you have to claim copyright infringement.

    No..they won't take it down. No matter how I word it.

    sadly it's what happens when we post pics on a public forum. however i think the jack *kitten*'s tactic backfired because they look amazing. if you irgnore the weezle's smart *kitten* comment about nutella he's showing some wonderful women and how well they have done. koodos to the women for everything they have accomplished sadly he'll never get any of them.

    okay now i want some nutella. mmmmm nutella nom nom nom
