I did ask for one photo to be hidden. Unwilling photos of classmates have no value for iNat’s supposed focus on Wild. Violate privacy of children - which iNat absolutely SHOULD respect.

And for the few obs which do surface on the Forum, there will be many more where the victims suffer in silence. Or abandon iNat as yet another toxic space on social media.
