I think it isn't worthwhile for me to address your other points when  
it seems you don't believe that the primary functions on a camera and  
a photo hosting service are capturing pixels and hosting them  
respectively.

As for social engineering, if you cannot acknowledge what the people  
whose behavior you are trying to modify are seeking to do without your  
intervention, you can't develop successful social engineering  
strategies except by accident.
