Taking photos and using them ethically - Teachers, ambassadors of the project!
In this social media-centric world where our every minute and every thought is ready to be clicked, it is especially important to understand the importance of taking and using photos legally. In the digital age, we have all become creators and users, and our responsibilities are increasing accordingly.
Dr. Judit Lenke Tóth - data protection lawyer and curator of the gallery - believes that the power and influence of photographs is often underestimated in modern society. Photos not only reflect reality, but also affect us, shape us and influence society's perception. In this image-centric world, the power of photos can become a tool of abuse and manipulation if we do not handle them properly and consciously. The prevention of online abuse is our priority, especially that which occurs through the illegal use of photographs.
Did you know that 80% of online abuse is committed using an illegal photo?
Surprisingly, even our generation doesn't know that what I take a photo with my phone is not necessarily mine. Dr. Judit Lenke Tóth believed that increasing ethical and legal awareness could reduce this tendency and help create a safer and more responsible digital community.
