What matters to me are the intentions of the photographer. If you're taking the photograph to make fun of the person, it's different than showing the image for educational or story telling purposes. Regarding laws and posting photos, this is a complicated legal area. In this situation, the photo was taken in Israel but I posted the image from my bedroom in the U.S., using a mobile device running off of U.S. towers and service providers. So, which law governs? Israeli law where the photo was snapped, or U.S. law, where the image was uploaded? The image is visible to all people around the globe on Instagram. You see the dilemma? It's a problem for jurisdictional/legal issues relating to privacy on the Internet and social media, where almost all content can be seen by users in nations around the globe, each with different and sometimes conflicting laws.
