But the photographer said he did ask. Why do you not believe him! A,lso the couple
are right to have their photograph removed as Antoinette was right to agree to her
photo. So what is the point you are making?
Data protection is just another piece of legislation, trivially small on the scale of
things and 99% of the time irrelevant - apart from those participating on this list - to
bring out self righteous indignation as far as:
- turning every photographer of children into a possible child mollester
- and a whole profession (let alone the hobbyists) into an uncaring bunch of people.
