I just had that conversation yesterday. The only pictures of me that exist are in relation to my current employer, and only because they post headshots of all new execs in the local paper (small towns are weird like that).

Otherwise, I flat do not exist online.

People are ASTOUNDED when I ask them to crop me out, or to ask my permission before posting with me in it. I'm always polite, but people act like I asked them to lick the bottom of my foot.

It's very strange.

Most people are happy to have photos with themselves in it. Like it or not, you're the strange one in this situation.

Most people are happy when their friends value their preferences and choices about when consent is given.

Yes, and it's still really, really weird to be upset that someone you know took a photo with you in it.
