In a very interesting decision, a German court ruled that you can’t keep nude pictures of your former lovers, if they ask you to delete them. Under this ruling a person can retroactively withdrawal consent from any nude photo. Now, it’ll be interesting to see if the people in question needed to have had an intimate relationship or if any model can withdrawal consent later. If it’s the latter and a paid model could withdraw consent later, that could have some serious problems. Would works of art need to be destroyed? Is it only photographs? What if it’s digital and it’s already out in the world?
What do you think? Is the court right in allowing retroactive withdrawal of consent?
