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

Tell your school you don’t want your picture to be online (on Instagram) and ask them to remove it.
If i do that i’ll probably be targeted by the school staff and the people in that photo as an idiot that is scared to show his faces on photos, and if i explain that it’s a matter of privacy then i’d probably look weirder

I used to teach high school and have an advanced administrative degree. I highly doubt any school staff would think less of you for this, unless they’re exceptionally shitty people. I hosted some activities where pictures were taken, and if a student had returned later and requested one or more of them be taken down, I would have complied with no questions asked, even if consent had previously been granted by the student/their guardians.

While it’s true that there are some awful teachers and administrators, the vast majority wouldn’t have a problem granting a simple request like this.

I hope so, i really do
I hope so too. Since it’s the weekend, I’d try emailing whoever is in charge right now for your own peace of mind. I’m almost 100% sure they’ll take them down, no questions asked.
Yeah, the fact is that i don’t know who to contact. I’d have to wait for monday and ask them directly…
Oh, I see. Best wishes.
