    r/mildlyinfuriating • 1 day ago LuckyTheLurker Cousin's daughter keeps using pictures of my houses, cars, horses, etc. to boost her IG profile as an "influencer".

    Family thinks I'm over reacting but it's my personal property she's posting online. without any consideration for my privacy or security. I asked her politely to remove all pictures of my property but she didn't so I had my attorney send her a cease and desist. Some of my family just think I'm overreacting, others claim I'm trying to sabotage her career.

    Personally, I probably would have let her take some pictures because it doesn't hurt me. What bothers me is she didn't ask, she's unapologetic she posted my cars with their number plates, and pictures of the inside of my house including some of my collectables. So someone can see exactly what kind of art and collectibles I have.

    My daughter lives alone most of the time in one of my homes and I really don't like the idea of someone putting her safety at risk. My daughter is the one who brought this to my attention after my cousin's daughter visited her and she ended up kicking her out for taking pictures without her consent and refusing to take them down.

    The idea that I'm trying to interfere with her career is preposterous, my cousin's daughter waa admitted to a very good college and received a scholarship because of me. In my opinion, she's wasting the opportunities I've already given her.

    Her IG has less than 50k followers, I think most of them are bots, or paid followers. She has no coherent message or purpose she's advocating, it seems more like, ooh look at me. She's a bright girl, I helped her get in and pay for college but she actually did all the work and graduated with decent grades. There's no reason she's not making $100+k working instead of mooching off my cousin while attention seeking.

    mostdefher 2d ago Edited 1d ago Very infuriating. A lot of people who get into social media at an early stage are out of touch with reality because they're so consume about what other people see them as. You absolutely have the right to order her not to publish your property as her content. She sounds spoiled and entitled. You can't help people like that. Go further than a cease and desist letter. Protect your daughter who's always alone & cut cousin's daughter off as she doesn't care for a rela

    tincanbeef • 1d ago You are not wrong to do this at all. Last year, a local woman in my area was robbed and murdered in her home. The robbers admitted they only targeted her based on what she posted on her IG. Depending where you live, this may be dangerous.

    Right-Phalange . 2d ago The most infuriating thing about all of this is using the term "career" to describe someone trying to be an influencer. The word "influencer" is bad enough.

    Mondai_May • 2d ago you can maybe report them and they might get removed. idk it doesnt really fall under intellectual property i dont think. but u can try especially if your house address was shown.

    PQRVWXZ- • 2d ago I'd start commenting under them like "come over to our house anytime!" And "so fun seeing how creative you are! Wash my car before you bring it back next time please"
