As part of my extra curricular activities includes photography, what happens to a child model when they come of age? Can they revoke the permission given to use their image? Some classical portrature continues on to this day. Would it also apply to paintings? Hmmm... this could get nasty!!!

Images of children, even fully-clothed, are already frowned upon. Please report at once to the Nonce-Finder General's Office, 13th floor, Ministry of Love for re-education.

In theory adults have been asked if they consent - all too often they have not, or the consent tick box hidden away.

This smells like a tar-baby: a non-problem with huge legal uncertainties to attract attention to the real problem being ignored. That is, full-blown citizens cannot sensibly protect their own data, but HMGovt doesn't want to hear, as providing an enabling framework would weaken the state.

Which icon for conspiracy theories?
