A court in the Netherlands ruled this month that a grandmother must remove pictures of her grandchildren from her social media accounts after her daughter filed a privacy complaint.
The grandmother, according to a Gelderland District Court summary, has not been in contact with her daughter for more than a year due to a family argument.
Her daughter has three minor children who appear in pictures the grandmother posted to social media accounts on Facebook and Pinterest. In February, the daughter wrote to her mother, noting that her requests made via the police to remove the photos of her children from social media have been ignored and giving her mother until March 5 to comply or face legal action.
After the grandmother failed to take the photos down, the mother took her complaint to court.
The Dutch implementation of Europe's General Data Protection Act requires that anyone posting photos of minors obtain consent from their legal guardians.
When the court took up the matter in April, the grandmother had removed photos, except for one from Facebook. She wanted that one picture, of the grandson she had cared for from April 2012 through April 2019 while the boy and his father, separated from the mother, lived with her.
The father in the instance of the Facebook image also did not consent to the publication of the image.
[...] Accordingly, the judge gave the grandmother ten days to remove the picture. If it isn't not removed by then, a fine of €50.00 (£45, $55) will be imposed each day the images remain in place, up to a maximum of €1,000 (£900, $1,095).

"I don't buy your blatant lie that coding jobs even exist."
There are tons of coding jobs, in the sense that there are tons of folks pulling down regular paychecks paying a bunch of bills and nesting with the cash all around the world to do things that can (with sufficient charity) be called coding.
This is objectively verifiable.
Now for the most part this is potlach, they're writing re-implementations of code that already existed, while adding little if anything of value and often losing value in the process, in order to become more buzzword compliant or more conformant with the current monetization strategy.
That shit is not really doing a job as in getting needed work done expeditiously, which is how I prefer to read it as a working man.
So maybe that latter is what you really meant here?
"If I'm such a bad coder as you claim, why was I the one correcting the obvious coding mistakes made by the teaching assistants in college, how did I earn A grades in computer science classes, and how did I graduate with honors? How did I manage to go on to do original research in computer science and earn an advanced degree? How have I been contributing working useful code to open source projects for years?"
It's possible that your competition was just consistently awful? ;)
"Why is it that when I list my achievements on a resume, I get constant praise and zero job offers?"
Now that's a more interesting and potentially helpful question, but without your resumé and some context it's hard to even hazard a guess.
"No, the problem here is if I, a natural born coder who is so passionate about coding that I continue to code personal projects after years upon years of rejection and after applying for thousands upon thousands of advertised job openings, cannot ever find even one low paying crap job in your tech industry, then your entire tech industry is based upon obvious fraud."
Well, doh. It's based on /layers/ of fraud. It's like a freaking onion at this point.
But the fraud isn't that jobs don't exist. It's that those jobs are just as dumbed down and outsourced as possible, and then another 20% at least. The fraud is that these jobs are administered by corporations that have no understanding of them, beyond numbers on a payroll spreadsheet.
If laughter is the best medicine, who are the best doctors?
