> can't *easily* be traced to me

Yeah, it would be identifiable to others, so that’s a violation of your privacy.

A more accurate analogy is if someone shared a picture of the back of your own hand or something that would be basically impossible for anyone but you to recognize.

I’m not saying it is or is not a violation of your privacy, but your example is flawed.



If I was in a situation where I have not given consent to take that picture, and I see that shared, it would make me wonder if any other pictures I didn’t agree to were also taken.
