That's an absurd argument. In no world, in no universe can you reasonably
expect people to not talk about you, think about you, write about you, if
they so choose.
Publishing photos and videos of you, without your consent, on the other
hand, is illegal, and can be punished severely. I have on several
occasions asked web sites to remove information about me, sometimes they
do it, sometimes they don't. I found a workaround by de-registering myself
from the country I live in, and this removed my data from a hueg nr of
linked systems.
Then I can just live as a non-registered person, and that works quite
alright to be honest.
