Files uploaded by Matt Bio Research (talk · contribs)[edit]

Remaining uploads of this user (excluding one already nominated). That nomination creates privacy concerns for all this user's uploads, unless we assume the uploader is the subject in each case, which seems unlikely given inconsistent dates, sizes and metadata. All files are unused.

  • Can you identify a person by looking at their anus? If you were a dog, a sniff there might uniquely identify that person. The historical concern in textbook medical imagery was identifying a face, so the eyes have a rectangular bar over them. --RAN (talk) 03:11, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) I am tired of hearing this argument. It is illegal to distribute images of this nature without consent in some jurisdictions, including the one where I live. Identifiability does not matter. And the existing nomination that I linked to, along with the lack of an explicit statement regarding consent, creates doubt as to whether the subject(s) consented.

    In some jurisdictions, such as New Zealand (and Singapore?), it is even illegal to possess such images without the subject's consent. Brianjd (talk) 14:10, 24 November 2021 (UTC) clarified 14:17, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    That is why the servers are domiciled in Florida in the United States and not the countries that you mention, and why USA law applies. --RAN (talk) 00:29, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) I can't believe that distributing images of this nature without the subject's consent is legal, even in the US, given what I have read about "upskirting" laws being introduced there. In any case, there seems to be general agreement across most of the world that it's just wrong. Brianjd (talk) 03:57, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I advertised this discussion at Commons:Village pump#Intimate images without subject's consent. Brianjd (talk) 04:04, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In any case, the "slut" thing suffices for me to say delete and to question the appropriateness of keeping anything that came from the same source. - Jmabel ! talk 05:08, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Actually the consent of a person is not required for uploading photos of body parts of that person if they cannot be identified. That some countries may have laws that say otherwise is irrelevant - we cannot be expected to uphold all odd laws that ~200 countries of the world have enacted. Though per Commons:Nudity the value of these particular images for Wikimedia projects must considered. Ruslik (talk) 20:11, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Symbol delete vote.svg Delete because of Commons policy, not the law. Whatever page says Florida law applies is outdated: the servers moved to Virginia a few years ago. The relevant laws make it clear that photographing a person's intimate parts without their consent is illegal (which the photographer may or may not have done, but we definitely haven't done), as well as maliciously disseminating photos of a recognizable other person. The law also explicitly exempts intermediaries from liability, so Commons wouldn't be legally liable anyways. That being said, I think COM:DIGNITY comes down squarely on the side of deleting questionably-consensual intimate imagery. It explicitly states A "downblouse" or "creepshot" photograph is not made ethically acceptable just because the subject's face is cropped out; this is clearly the sort of case it's anticipating. It's not like this would hurt any encyclopedic use either―it's not like this is our only genitalia photo. (Disclaimer: I'm going to AGF that the descriptions of what the images contain is correct, as I have not looked at them.) Vahurzpu (talk) 21:04, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: Due to privacy / consent concerns and COM:DIGNITY. --Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:38, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
