Motivations: There are widespread concerns on user privacy arising from sharing pictures in social media services. People can be on a picture taken by someone else, either intentionally or by mistake, and such picture can be posted on a social media service without any permission of the person captured on the picture and possibly without the person even being aware to be on the picture. Social media service operators try to provide some ways to manage such cases but it seems quite limited. Same happens for various video capturing devices such as CCTVs.
Objectives: To specify a framework for managing privacy of users on the pictures or videos when pictures or videos are shared among users.
