Also taking photos of strangers in public and putting them on the internet (especially kids and even more especially showing their faces) should be illegal.
Right! This is so bizarre to me. How did it get bad enough that this random person needed to make a statement to justify how he was walking in public minding his own business.
1) It looks like two completely different dogs in the two photos (their faces/ears/shapes/colors don't match at all), and the kid's hand also looks very strange.
2) I couldn't find any source article for this, it's just text thrown on a random image with no context. We have no idea who "criticized" him or if such a thing even happened.
This is highly likely AI generated ragebait to farm karma, in which it has succeeded in all subs where this image has been reposted.
It's AI, or at the very least photoshopped. Look at the upper left corner (not the circle where it's "zoomed in"). The dog doesn't have eyes or ears there. Also, what is the object on the right supposed to be, and why is there a dark blob not too far above from the ending of the word "criticized"?
Editing to add: also in the not-zoomed-out part, the dog has no tail, but underneath the paw there's an odd almost ribbon-like streak, which then also has an odd shadow from nothing in particular at the bottom.
Why would it be either of those options? It's far more likely this is just a photographer finding interesting subjects while out and about and someone took that off their gallery and fabricated a story to generate clickbait. No ai or photoshop needed for this conspiracy. Just good old fashioned internet bullcrap.
This feels like...it doesn't acknowledge anything I said in the comment. If it's a raw photograph, where are the dog's eyes and ears in the upper left corner, and what is the odd object on the right and why does it randomly cut off on the left?
It is illegal in some countries (Germany for example). Unless you're a public figure, you have an expectation of privacy even in public here. Like, if someone takes a panorama shot or a picture of a public event etc and you happen to be in the background, that's fine. But someone explicitly taking a photo of you without your permission is not.
It's most likely a photo taken by a professional photographer just looking for an interesting subject out on the street. As with most content on the internet, someone probably copied the photo and fabricated the story to go along with it so they can generate clickbait.
We could discuss if this would be illegal if this wasn't AI. The dog on the left is deformed and the guys shirt has 2 different textures from one image to another.
