Sharing someone else's picture
📷a photo🧒a friend in it🙋ask first👍wait for a yes🗑️take it down
A friend's picture is theirs too.
The big ideaA friend's picture is theirs too. Ask first, and take it down if asked.

How it works

A photo of a friend is not only yours, because it is theirs too. The person who pressed the button is not the only one with a say.

Ask before you post or forward a picture of a friend: where it will go, and who can see it.

You cannot see how they feel about it. A picture can be funny to you and upsetting to them.

If someone asks you to take a picture down, do it right away, and ask anyone with a copy to delete it.

Look at itAsk themWait for a yesShare wherethey say
Before you share a picture of a friend.
Gets a say• Everyone in the photo• The friend who is in itDoes not decide alone• Only the person who took it• Whoever is loudest
Who gets a say?

Example 1: Ines and the sleepy photo

  1. Ines took a funny photo of Callum asleep and put it in a chat by accident.
  2. She told Callum all of it and said sorry.
  3. She asked the friend with a copy to delete it, and the friend did.

Example 2: Zadie's team photo

  1. Zadie wants to share a team photo, so she asks all six friends in it.
  2. Five say yes and one says no.
  3. Zadie does not share it, because no means no, even from one friend.

Example 3: An embarrassing photo arrives

  1. A friend sends you an embarrassing photo of a boy in your class.
  2. You do not forward it, even if it looks funny.
  3. You tell a grown-up, who can help.
It arrivesDo not forward itTell a grown-up
