a photo of you that you didn't agree to be uploaded is against the laws

I've never heard of this before, is it a part of GDPR?

No, it's part of the basic privacy protection laws that every EU coutry has had for decades. It's the same law that says you can't share videos taken with a dashcam if you're recording in the public.
