If you see someone on the net using a copyrighted picture as their profile pic, can you take actions?
I came across a 15 year old pretending to be a mom and used a copyrighted picture of twins. The twins are Camryn and Haidyn but she lied and said they were Aidyn and something else. She lied about being engaged at 15. The thing is =, she’s illegally using a copy righterd picture, can i do anything really?

You could get in touch with the owner of the copyrighted picture, maybe this girl asked for permission before she used the pic. If she did not, leave it up to the owner of the pic to decide about taking legal actions or not.

    You can file a report with Y!A about it, but there is something called ‘fair use’ and that might be their loophole
