When anything is uploaded to the Internet it may be your copy right but it comes under fair use policy, this is a a set of four guidelines which were never intended for social media as they were put in practise before the Internet and the ease that someone can reproduce an image or video, Youtube use this method and it is the legal method used in the States at the present time.

It means very little is ever taken down even if you own the image or appear in the image.

Things are slowly catching up with new laws regarding revenge porn and the Google purge my past etc, but at the present if you dont want something copied or recirculated do not upload anything as you have very little legal recourse to get it removed.

This highlights how random and unfair the censorship on the internet has become. Its is irrational and not equal treatment for all readers and posters.

Attacking legal content between consenting adults with false flags of pedophilia and offending people who actively choose to search out, enter, and view adult only websites is absurd and false. Its illegal censorship.

No one ever changed our US constitution to impose the political correctness collective Furher s puritanical nanny minions to dictate what a man can choose to look at, think, feel, or do with his own balls.

(1) I saw a quote somewhere -- maybe Facebook -- to the effect that anytime a politician says he/she is "doing it for the chil-drun" hang on to your wallet...and watch out for your civil liberties, too.

(2) There are a lot of scammers out there. The worst I've heard of was someone who posted a Youtube video. Someone downloaded the video, offered it for sale, then sent Youtube a DMCA takedown notice for violating their copyright and hurting their "business." I don't know how the case was ultimately resolved.

Another case was background music, deliberately chosen from the US Marine Corps Band because all such government-funded productions are considered "public domain." Someone claimed copyright and wanted to take it down. Fortunately in this case the person who made the Youtube post had pro-actively documented everything, and was able to reply to Youtube's takedown notice with prodigious documentation, so no problems.
