Because there's no need for a non-ban solution, a ban works perfectly.True, and yet what is "hot" is also determined by what is seen the most, see advertisement. And even if that was not the case, we don't want software like AI being that biased, either for or against anything. I agree that bans themselves really are not the best tool, but I still have not read a comment anywhere on this thread that offers a non-ban solution. Just lots of posturing...
Lena Forsén has withdrawn consent to use the photo in technical papers. That really should be the end of the discussion. Unfortunately, copyright law prevents her from doing anything about it directly.
Researchers who use her image are either ignorant or malicious (if they know that she has withdrawn consent, including her image in a paper is simply unethical). A ban solves both of these issues.
