I'm so sorry, Karisue. It does seem so unfair. It's something past generations didn't have to worry about. I love this forum and a handful of others, and in some ways the internet has been a great convenience (some not). But I do think we've lost more than we've gained by this technology in a lot of ways, and privacy is definitely at the top of the list.
I think that others may be right that removing these photos may not be possible, but I hope if there is a way that you find it.
Blessings to you.
