Abstract | Social networks allow users to communicate and exchange various pieces of information online; however, a number of issues arise with the use of images uploaded on social networks. One issue that arises is when uploaded images are re-used by third parties. When this occurs it often results in the user s loss of control over the use of their image. Another issue that arises when people upload their images online is that the use of the images is regulated by the social networks contract terms. This article examines the wcry that three popular image sharing networks, specifically Facebook, Twitter and lnstagram, regulate the use of personal images uploaded online when users subscribe to the service via the networks terms of use. The article highlights that users often lose the ability to control their images once those images are uploaded online. |
