yes ..here ( Europe ) you cant photographe people and then use their images without consent ..thats what model releases are for ..and you cant use photographes of kids or vulnerable adults without the consent of their parents or guardians and you cant run a business on the model of ( we are not responsible for the user uploaded content if it breaks these laws . we just place ads around it to try to monetise it ) ..and hope that flies .

Google knows when they are breaking laws ..( and strangely enough these laws are not "opt out" ) ..and they rely upon people being afraid of long legal battles and immense costs to "get away" with breaking the laws ..

Our Governments are here to serve their citizens first ..not Google ..nor any other mega corp who think they can do what they want where they want .
