    Here in Germany, we have the “right to your own picture” (“Recht am eigenen Bild”), which effectively says others may not publish pictures of you without your consent.

    For persons of public interest, this may not apply. For example, if Biden had met with Putin, then you could publish pictures of that meet-up. But dick pics definitely do not fall into the public interest.

    Regardless of your opinion of Hunter Biden (I’m not fond of the man), this was a massive breach of ethics by the shop owner. Speaking from the point of view of a tech worker, our clients entrust us with their private information on a daily basis. It’s a basic ethical obligation to not disclose that information, and certainly not for political or financial gain.
