Can they really blame others for being recognised?

[dantheman]

Got texted a few weeks back by an escort who's photo I had posted on here to see if anyone had seen or knew where she was.
She was pretty pissed off and said that family and friends had seen it, and that she had got recognised in a club by a punter and that she had to pay him off because he was going to bribe her by telling others about what she did, all down to the fact that i had posted a photo,  I put this photo on here over a year ago and she even made a profile on here in April, but never said anything about it then in any posts or messages.
Bearing in mind that this particular escort had over 500 photos in her adultwork galleries, all with face showing and some very explicit,
There was an occasion when I was visiting her she said that she had been recognised in a Bournemouth club, sorry but it is going to happen. yeah I felt bad that her family had 'seen' it,
She mentioned the police a couple of times but nothing as yet, must be because it's a forgiving time of year eh love.
She seemed to think that I was the only one that had posted a photo of here on this site, but when I pointed out that a member had put a post about Euston brothals on here her face photo was on there she still didn't believe me, it was only later that she found that out by looking at the post herself.
I guess the moral of the story is, if you don't want to be recognised, don't show your face.

I find it quite amusing when they contact me wanting (usually threatening) posts about them that don't even contain any pics to be deleted because they don't want to be recognized by family, or they've been outed already, etc.

Yet at the same time they still have AdultWork profiles up, sometimes even with their face showing.

Daft bints.

I must have received over 40+ threats of being reported to police in 2014 alone.

Are you talking about Carolina20x of Southampton?

Yeah.
I know members who read this are going to look at my previous post, but i was more stating the fact that they seem to want immunity when they 'give it all up'

[berksboy]

          In that case they are as thick as fuck , once its on the net its on the net.

My view is a WG should think VERY carefully before posting a face picture or pictures of herself online on her A/W profile or other site where its clear she is a WG. There could be far reaching consequences to doing so of course, that could affect her future.

Any WG that is prepared to give or sell her face pics for money in a PG cant be that bothered in my view because who knows who might get to see them. Not showing their face in any online pics anywhere under any circumstances is the smart thing to do if its important to the WG as i see it.

Its 100% a WGs responsibility not to give or sell her face photos to people if her aim is her face not to be online. She cant rely on EVERY person who she gives or sells face pics to to not share them and/or put them online. The fact is there will always be people prepared to post face pics up irrespective of a WGs wishes and they should realise this. Dont give or share at all and apart from punters taking sneaky photos at the punt her face wont get online hopefully from her point of view although i know of a WG who had a WG "friend" who posted her face pics online and linked them to her Facebook account after they fell out meaning her family found out she was a WG.

If they want to complain to someone, don't complain to admin at ukp, complain to AW

Its not our fault that we can use google chrome, and an extension to download there photos, when we shouldn't be able to

I would have thought by now AW would have done something about this exploit, but clearly they haven't

So if an escort post here pictures on aw with her face open for anyone to see, then that's asking for trouble, as it could be posted anywhere, not just on ukp, could appear on mumsnets

Even without the add on for Chrome you can print screen. Dump it in paint or word and save as whatever you want.

Short and simple:

If a face picture is posted on the net, people can access it. In my view that's her issue not yours.

[Outcallguy]

There are some odd bits in your story.

The girl states friends and family had seen her photos here. What were they doing looking on a punting website?

Also the guy in the club who threatened to out her if she didn't pay him off, that is blackmail and illegal. So surely a case where she can legitimately call the police.

[bronson24]

Is shes a romanian then all she has to do is fuck off back to romania and she wont be recognised in the area  anymore. Sorted 

[Trevor12]

It seems a bit strange that she's waited this long before making a fuss. Do you think shes running low on funds and might be just trying her luck at getting some 'compensation' out of you?

yeah it is very strange, I don't know what her game is, maybe she is pissed off with the world and decided to take it out on me.

Hey, I'm just saying what she told me about what was going on,
Don't know the in's and out's of it all.

[Toshiba]

And what offence have you committed?

[dantheman]

And what offence have you committed?

Nothing, I put a photo on a punting website which is for the use of discussions and finding new and old escorts.

[Taggart]

The simple fact is that many WGs have no idea or conception of the term 'public domain'.

I suspect many think the internet is an electronic tool to help sell themselves, and that's where their understanding stops.  The clearly are unaware that by posting a face pic, it can be seen by billions around the world, and their profile and pics become an integral part of the web, and that these images can be searched for by Google or Yahoo, etc.

By sticking something on a web page with no password or restrictive control, then it is public domian.

The WG only has herself to blame, and the suggestion that her profile was 'discovered' and the bribery story are just waffle.  She's crapped herself because she doesnt realise how widespred the interweb is.

No sympathy at all for WG

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen (ie being in the public eye via prostitution)!

[greychap]

If an escort openly puts out pictures of herself with her face showing then she is very stupid as you have outed yourself and these images can come back to haunt you at any time.

But if an escort had her face put on show on the net without her consent for example an agency taking off the blur or an enemy then yes it should be taken down but only if the escort herself did not throw her face around all over the net.

In this day and age everyone is or should be aware that anything put on the internet is there for life and viewable by just about anyone.
Its common sense if you don't want your face to be associated with this work then you don't put face pics anywhere to do with your job even in a private gallery as they are still easily viewed by paying a couple of quid and can then be copied and kept or posted elsewhere.
Even the younger women cant say they didn't know as they are taught in school about the dangers of the internet and have been for a good few years so even the younger age range will be aware. 

Also if someone found a photo of a girl on any punting forum then they would also be aware of AW and would have found it there anyway.

[James999]

said that family and friends had seen it,

What are her family and friends doing reading UKP?

she had got recognised in a club by a punter and that she had to pay him off because he was going to bribe her by telling others about what she did,

How did she know he was a punter, it could have been one of her relatives or friends as she said they read this site, and why didn't she report that person to the police for blackmail? And as her family and friends had already seen the picture what could he tell them that they didn't already know?

Is she still a member here?

No she is not on here now, she came on here in April for 3 days, I guess she can still view posts on here as a guest, In her text to me she said she was fed up with people posting on here about her and ordered me not to write anything more about her on here. In answer to to question 'How did she know he was a punter' He said her Carolina name to her and this site is where he got the info from. I mean if your in a club and someone is hassling you, the most obvious thing is to go up to security, they will soon sort it out whilst you make for the exit, the chances of seeing that person again are minimal, just dont go back to that particular club.
Not sure about the friends and family looking at this site, who knows who looks at these sites, could be the guy you work with or the postman or the local vicar, I guess that is why we have nicknames.

All true Dani, just yesterday I found a way to copy and paste from the gallery from aw, and I found the info on how to do it on here.
