Is it legal to post google images on your social media?

[hi_it_is_me123]

I mean many of us download google images and add it for our posts/MyTakes/questions. Is this even legal? Can GaG get into trouble for allowing such posts?

What happened if you disavow/delete these questions/posts/myTakes? **** Does disavowning posts or deleting your account protects you from lawsuits?

I think the only way that you could get in trouble is if you were to download a picture and say that it was you that's identity theft there's a lot of people that make fake profiles and these other peoples pictures and I think that you can get in trouble for that
And any other kind of picture I think it has to state that the picture has been copy written and you might get in some kind of trouble are I don't even think trouble I think they'd want you to just take it off if the picture has been copy written no matter what it is this is a good question I would love to know the answer

[NathanDavis]

yes and no... it's a vastly grey area when it comes to legality

so, for the most part is simplified... as long as you don't obviously profit with it, falsely claim it as yours, or you do credit the author or artist, it should be alright

It depends on the copyright holder of the image! Some companies aggressively pursue to the fullest extent possible, copyright infringement, especially on sites like this, a for profit commercial site! Other copyright holders, do not even passively check for their. Copyrighted images, and don’t care. As for “who pays” any copyright suit, my guess is that sites like GaG have in their terms of service, that if you post copyrighted material, you are solely responsible for the cost of litigation!

[hi_it_is_me123]

Why I am solely responsible for the cost of litigation if GaG not even allow their users to delete their posts/questions etc. You only can disavow (?)

[hi_it_is_me123]

I did NOT know a fucking shit about copyright laws. THIS IS WHY I ASK This fucking question.
There are also minors on GaG. It is not like commiting serious crimes. Imagine getting sued for this shit after 5+ years later just because you did not know any better as a minor. I just asked for your other opinion or guess. I did not mean to annoy you.
Dont also call me sweetie. Whatever still thank you for your informations/answere. It is enough

[hi_it_is_me123]

Man I am so sorry. I am just paranoid these days

[hi_it_is_me123]

Oh thank you. I am going to cry now due to my paranoia lol
Do you know how this copyright holder find out that this kid download so many songs? Do you also know whether it is ok to use filters/effects (?) from insta to edit/change your own pics and publish it on other social media platforms? For example i would take a pic of a tree and edit the pics thanks to insta-the pic is a little different now-is it still mine if i use insta to edit pics?

[hi_it_is_me123]

Lool Only Fans lol 😂 do you also know how likely is it to get sued for such things? I mean ton of people download google images and add it on their social media. Man I am so scared noow and i am paranoid now

[hi_it_is_me123]

I dont know if asked you about screenshots. It is legal to make Screenshot of Google images for example?

[hi_it_is_me123]

Oh thank you. I have heard it is not problematic as long as you dont publish it? Is this true. Sorry for asking so many questions

[hi_it_is_me123]

For example i also Screenshot some of helpful posts so i can look up later. Is this illegal

[hi_it_is_me123]

But i dont publish it

Should Tik Tok get most of "their songs" copyrighted? Ever since Tik Tok was Musical. ly, they had songs from famous people and the songs didn't get copyrighted. The only famous person I know who was on there was Jason Derulo, and he was sponsoring his music on there.

Most pics on the net aren't copywrited. And they aren't being used for a commercial purpose here.
