Omicron is causing people to lose their sense of smell? BFD... As long as you're still alive and now have immunity to more deadly variants, you're still way ahead in my opinion.
Articles like this are just worthless fearmongering to try to keep people from going out and facing Omicron head on. The deep state depopulation plan is pooched if enough people catch Omicron to create genuine herd immunity. No more lockdowns, no more death jab mandates, no more face condumbs. FJB!
Wish they would hurry up and "depopulate" the severely mentally handicapped like you who don't understand and ignore science. You are ignoring people who have dedicated their lives to help keep people healthy and ensure we all live as long as possible. You are ignoring them to listen to some random youtuber who claims to have met Q at his local 7 Eleven and gotten the scoop on the deep state and hollywood pedophiles. Go put a rope around your neck bud. Figures someone with a shit take like that would post as anonymous coward.

So Facebook can for sure legally stop selfies from being distributed. If it's not a selfie the person modelling for the photo doesn't really have any rights to the photo itself or what is done with it.
Twitters plan on the other hand is 100% illegal and going to be impossible to defend in court. They are planning on just allowing anyone to ask to have any photo with them in it removed from the platform. If I take a picture at a political rally someone in the background who isn't even the subject of the photo would be able to contact twitter, prove they are in the photo and have it removed. Public place, no reasonable expectation of privacy and copyright laws all give the power to the photographer in this kind of case. Anywhere public you can be photographed and you have zero recourse because you are IN PUBLIC.
It will be interesting to see how quickly these platforms get crapped on in court by the EFF and other technology rights groups over these heavy handed policies.I'm all for protecting peoples privacy but if you pose naked for photos someone else is taken you don't legally own them or have any power over them. If I hand my camera to someone else and they take 5 photos with it legally they own the copyright on those 5 photos because they are the one who created them by clicking the button. They are the artist, not the model so a simple handwritten contract dated and signed with photos taken on phones by both parties is enough. If you are in a relationship have a blanket contract on nude photos not being distributed or shared in any way without express permission.

Since the show went woke, it became absolutely dire. Dear entertainment industry, woke is bad, stop forcing your SJW crap down our throats, we hate it.
Sorry bud, but being respectful of other people and their cultures and trying to avoid things like stereotypes that upset them isn't "woke" or any other term you want to apply to it. There are a lot of people with physical and mental disabilities in this world, showing them on TV isn't "woke" either. It's just showing an accurate representation of people you would run into in the real world. Maybe what you call "woke" the rest of the world calls not being an arsehole. You should try it out one day.
