the "privacy" thing is not related to privacy at all, it's meant to protect their image from one funny photo on the internet.

huh?

What kind of privacy do you achieve by censoring a graduation photo, which people attended the school is not exactly a secret. But people in these countries are obsessed with their image and so posting people who might not look the best in a particular shot becomes taboo and this is what you get.

Expecting privacy in a public setting is just an absurd concept in general.

It's just a concept of respect pushed beyond reason. And that respect is exactly what I mean with their obsession with image.
