"He approached my wife and me and said, We're not into social media. I did not glean from this that he meant we should post nothing at all. To share the good news with my friends, I did post one photo. Late the next night he texted us to take it down, saying, We asked you directly not to do this. I replied, I'm sorry, I didn't understand that I was not to post anything at all."
"Not to split hairs, but I quibble with your son's statement that he asked you directly not to post. He actually didn't ask you anything and the statement could be interpreted all kinds of ways. So, your confusion is understandable. Given that, posting, as you did, isn't an unreasonable action. However, I'd be careful not to make too much of his request (or demand) that you take the photos down."
An adult son and his long-term partner completed a civil marriage to secure health insurance. The son told his parents, "We're not into social media," and the parents posted a single photo to share the news with longtime friends. The son later texted them to remove the photo, saying he had asked them not to post. The parents apologized but felt constrained about sharing joyful news with their social circle. A response noted the son's wording was ambiguous, that posting under ambiguity was not unreasonable, but cautioned that social-media images can spread and that the couple has a legitimate interest in controlling images of their wedding.
