Can my ex keep posting photos of me — or of us?

Consent is revocable (Art. 7(3)) — the yes you gave to couple photos in 2023 does not bind you in 2026, and courts across Europe have ordered exes to remove photos after breakups on exactly this logic plus personality rights. The triage: ordinary photos (holidays, parties, couple shots) → the standard removal flow: one written ask, platform privacy report, Art. 17 demand; anything intimate, or threats to post it → skip everything and run the intimate-images playbook (StopNCII, priority reports, police — threatening alone is sextortion). The gray zone people ask about: photos where you BOTH appear — your ex has rights to their own image too, but posting a photo of you against your objection still fails; platforms resolve this by honoring the pictured person’s privacy report regardless of who took it. Wedding photos on a photographer’s portfolio ride the photographer consent rules — revocable there too. When posting is punishment: spite-posting, captioning to humiliate, tagging your employer — document the pattern, because it converts a photo dispute into harassment with the stronger toolkit that brings. And the boring prevention that works: after any serious breakup, sweep shared albums, cloud shares, and each other’s device access — the session-eviction list doubles as a breakup checklist.
