Check privacy and consent before sharing photographs

The cybercrime law covers photographing, keeping or transmitting images as part of intentionally invading privacy without consent outside legally authorised cases. It does not make every photograph in public automatically criminal.

Do not equate permission to take a picture with permission to use it in advertising or distribute it to a group. Clarify its purpose and audience, particularly for accident victims or private situations.

If your image is misused, record the post address, publishing account and observation time. Avoid republishing it publicly as evidence; pursue removal and an official report using preserved private records.

Editing or partly obscuring a photograph does not necessarily remove the risk: a person may remain identifiable through their voice, clothing or circumstances. When reporting an incident, provide necessary material directly to the competent authority and assess public publication as a separate decision.
