The pub discussion is a bad analogy, a group of colleagues or friends, you'd
expect to have a certain level of discretion, and by nature is a fairly but
not 100% closed loop. If one of them then did what you're suggesting then
it's probably just as much of an indictment of the company you're keeping.
By its very nature the BBS is far more open, anyone can read it.. and the
network makes that doubly true.

The FacePlant analogy is in some ways even worse. If you're out in public, I
believe and I may be wrong, its open season anyone can take your photo and do
what they will with it. How do you think tabloid photographers got away with
it all those years?  It'd be different if you're in a closed site, be it home
or to some degree workplace and that occurred then you'd have something to
complain about or seek legal remedy.
