Editing Image sharing (section)

== Criticism ==
Critics of image/photo sharing are concerned with the use of applications such as Instagram, because they believe that the behaviors portrayed on these sites could potentially be linked to the [[narcissism]] trait.  Keen argues that "Self" is running digital culture, and he states that people use social-media platforms because they are interested in advertising themselves.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Cult of the Amateur: How blogs, MySpace, YouTube, and the rest of today's user-generated media are destroying our economy, our culture, and our values|last=Keen|first=Andrew|publisher=Doubleday|year=2008|isbn=978-0-385-52081-2|location=New York, NY}}</ref> Buffardi and Campbell (2008) also alleged that Instagram offers "a gateway for self-promotion via self-descriptions, vanity via photos, and a large amount of shallow relationships." However, they later said that the large number of users suggests the general [[psychology]] of the members is normative.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Buffardi|first1=Laura E.|last2=Campbell|first2=W.

Privacy activists and researchers have noted that the sharing of images on [[Social networking service|social networks]] may compromise the privacy of people depicted in them. Further, most current social networks afford their users little control over content that they did not post themselves.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Xu|first1=K.|last2=Guo|first2=Y.|last3=Guo|first3=L.|last4=Fang|first4=Y.|last5=Li|first5=X.|date=2015-01-01|title=My Privacy My Decision: Control of Photo Sharing on Online Social Networks|journal=[[IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing]]|volume=PP|issue=99|pages=199–210|doi=10.1109/TDSC.2015.2443795|issn=1545-5971|doi-access=free}}</ref> In its [[privacy policy]], Facebook states that any information posted using its service, including images, may be used to display relevant ads to its users.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy|title=Data Policy|website=[[Facebook]]|access-date=2016-10-22}}</ref> Facebook utilizes automatic facial recognition software that can automatically recognize the face of another Facebook user in new photos, and suggest that the user be tagged in the photo.<ref name=":0" /> A [[Ghent University]] study found that employers commonly search for prospective employees on Facebook, and may decide whether or not to grant an [[Job interview|interview]] based on the person's profile picture.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/facebook/12099132/Your-Facebook-profile-photo-affects-your-job-prospects-study-claims.html|title=Your Facebook profile photo affects your job prospects, study claims|last=Murgia|first=Madhumita|date=2016-01-14|newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|access-date=2016-10-10}}</ref>
