Do not repost my pics on any other social media platform!

i'm sure your request will be honored by whomever shared it, but just so you know for the future once you put your picture anywhere on the internet it's free game technically, so be careful if you're concerned about that stuff.

I did a quick Google search to see who "owns" the pictures people post on any media site. It seems the person who took the picture retains ownership of it, despite it being posted on a public forum.

Just because something has been posted to Instagram, Twitter, or other social media platforms does not mean that content is now in the public domain and free for anyone to use. Social media is no different than other forms of online content — the content creator retains the copyrights to any images, text, or video he or she created. When reusing content found on the internet it’s vitally important to make sure you have obtained the right to do so from the content owner.
