Oops meaning I worded my question wrongly. I actually meant "leaving a link".
You have confirmed that pictures from Facebook can be used. I hope I am correct sir @cryptoandcoffee ?
Yes. Always have a link if the image is not your own and then no worries. Getty is the only hassle and has always been that way in sportstalk.
Beautiful.
But why will virtually all twitter pic be disallowed here because they may not be "safe", yet Facebook pics are allowed? Why is that please?
"safe" means not having problems with image rights or not being a Getty image.
Then I have learnt that one can do without a link for an image that is not his,if he snapped the pic from a TV screen or phone screen. That way,it's okay he just says something like, screenshot from TV or phone or YouTube etc. I hope I'm right and I hope I applied it well here?
I have no clue as wasn't aware of things not being safe. When you load it does it say not safe or something?
Sir, you were one of those who took me through early lectures of the goings-on here and you've graciously kept it up till today.
You guys said,I may not see any impediment when I open a twitter picture, but it may still have image right problems, so I should avoid twitter.
In the beginning,if you can recall, I used twitter pictures and provided a link too, before I was accosted by one of you that eventhough the picture doesn't show that there are image rights attached to it, it many not be necessarily free because we do not know if the one who posted it flouted the regulation on fair use of pictures.
You guys then counselled that I should avoid twitter. Don't you recall @cryptoandcoffee? But even if you don't recall(and yes it's normal because it's been several months back) what is your take on these above,if we assume it is a fresh advice an oldie gave me?
No I said be careful as some of those images were still Getty images and not every image on Twitter can be used. You still needed to check if it was safe to use or not. If you find a photo on Facebook or any social media double check it is not Getty. Use whatever you want but double check and provide a link and don't just say Twitter.
Thanks a lot for the reply.
It's coming back to me now. Exactly, this your latest reply, is the kind of thing you said then. I now replied informing you that I use a phone to post blogs(I still do that till today) and I don't see anywhere to check if an image is Getty or not.
It was then you sympathised with the device I use in matters of this nature and since you were not exactly sure on how to double check using a phone, you told me it is safest to avoid most twitter images or all even.
Please do you know how I can check with a phone?
Yes that looks ok but haven't checked the photo but links are all good.
