Photos and Privacy

Photo flows touch identity, consent, and moderation, so this page is intentionally detailed.

Personal Photo Center (/me/photos)

Your personal control surface has three tabs:

• Saved: private bookmarks.
• Tagged: photos where you are tagged, including approval/rejection.
• Privacy: profile-photo and visibility controls.

Tagged Photo Workflows

In Tagged, you can:

• approve pending tags,
• reject pending tags,
• remove tags from already-approved photos,
• use bulk actions when processing high volume.

Profile Photo and Visibility Controls

Privacy controls include:

• profile visibility scope,
• profile photo visibility scope,
• avatar behavior and source preferences.

Connections and shared-hub relationships affect who can view what.

Hub and Event Photo Surfaces

Hub photo surfaces support album and timeline views.

Visibility is enforced at multiple layers:

• album defaults,
• per-photo moderation/override controls,
• viewer relationship and membership gates.

Some access failures intentionally return Not found to protect private resource existence.

Reporting and Moderation

If a photo is unsafe or incorrect:

1. Use report actions from the photo surface.
2. Include reason and context.
3. Hub admins handle local moderation.
4. Escalate to platform level for severe or repeated abuse.

Practical Privacy Defaults

• Start conservative, then widen visibility intentionally.
• Review tagged photos before profile promotion.
• Keep moderation notes clear for future audits.
• Escalate incidents with URL + UTC time + role context.
