PARANOID about friends taking a PHOTO of me with their DIGI-CAM!?

Question

whenever i go out to an event, people have digital cameras, people like to post pics up on the internet, and i don't want my photo up on the internet, because i know that there is alot of SICK PEOPLE out there in the sick internet world,that steal Other ppl's pics and prentend to be that stolen 'photo'

IS it just me? or do otheres feel like this?
how can i get over this, i don't even want to go to my friend's 16th birthday since i know alot of Teens there who would take a pic of me, and put it on their 'myspace'...then other random people would visit their page, and decide to steal my photo and imposter me,
*sigh i hate the internet sometimes

they'll still take my photo , especially at my friend's Big 16th birthday bash, it would look bad on me if i didn't take a photo with them, or else like what can i do for them to NOT take a photo of me .

Answer 1

I'm sure some people do that but I wouldn't worry about it. There are so many people in this world that the chances of running into someone that saw a 'stolen' photo of you are very unlikely. And even if you do, then why do you care? Who cares what some random stranger thinks of you? And if they judge you based on something like that then their opinion isn't worth it in the first place since they didn't take the time to get to know you.

Answer 2

I don't understand. What could they do with your photo? I mean, in what situations could they use it to pretend to be you? And why would they do that?

I don't mind having my picture taken, but there are people who don't want their picture connected with their identity on the Internet. You are free to ask someone not to take your picture if you like.

Answer 3

You probably won't end up as an avatar and if you did under someone else's name who's gonna recognize you anyway?
