> Still, a blanket law against posting strangers without their consent would be draconian and unworkable. There are too many variables, too many circumstances, and simply too many cases.
I disagree. If someone (who is a non public figure) is the subject of a photo/video and has their likeness used without consent by a third party, the third party should be liable. There should be legal recourse for the victim to sue and force the third party to take it down (plus compensate for legal fees)
Courts already deal with situations where there are "too many variables", the law isn't black and white for everything. The way that the author just brushes any legal solution aside seems like a cop-out
