Consent & Others' Images
Online life — before you share a photo, video or story about someone else, ask them first and respect their answer

Kavi's Photo Dilemma
At the park, Kavi snapped a funny photo of a friend named Mika mid-trip, arms waving like a windmill. "Everyone will laugh — I should post it!" thought Kavi, finger hovering over the Share button. Then Kavi paused. "It's a photo of Mika, not me. It's Mika's face, Mika's moment — so it's really Mika's choice." So Kavi asked first: "Is it okay if I post this?" Mika's smile dropped. "Please don't — it's embarrassing." That was a clear no. Kavi felt a tiny tug of disappointment… then deleted the post. "A good friend respects a no," Kavi said. A clever owl knows: before you share a picture, video or story about someone else, you ask permission first — and if they say no, you don't share it. That is called consent.
