My school uploaded photos of me on instagram without my consent - Lemmy

It’s what the title says, i don’t want to be posted on fricking instagram and my school didn’t ask for anyone’s consent. It’s not just one, it’s severeal. How can i make instagram remove them? Thank you for your help

Depends on the country you live in and the legislation. Also it is possible that you or your parents signed something to give them consent.
I live in italy
Then you can file a GDPR claim. That’s the last step on the escalation procedure, though. Start with nicely asking the school and if they don’t gomply: increase the (legal) pressure.
How does that work? I don’t want to ask directly to my school because they probably won’t care to comply with my demands. I don’t want to have any sort of direct contact with the school

Honestly, there’s not really a good way to do this anonymously without escalating it. You’re within your right to request that it be removed, and you don’t need a solid justification to remove it. I assume it’s just a random promo photo on their instagram? I don’t think they’d care much outside of just removing it.

probably won’t care to comply with my demands

Schools care (or want to appear that they care) about the privacy, safety, and comfort of their students. I think they’d just remove it if asked. You could also try speaking to whoever is running the account and ask them, if say you don’t want to reach out to the admin.

There’s a quick draft:

Hi _______, I saw I was in a recent photo that was posted to the ____ account. I would like to kindly request that the photo be removed, as I value my online privacy and I am trying to have control over where my images are shared. Please let me know if there’s anything else I should do to complete this process, and thank you for your help!

I don’t know man, my school is kinda goofy lol. They can’t even manage to get us teachers

I imagine they can’t get lawyers either.

They don’t want to know what happens if they refuse, most likely.
